Hunts Merchants Magazine, in an article on
tile subject of Secretary Chase's financial system
says:
The rate of money rose under this loan opera

another column indicate that loans increased aud
the deposits diminished under the transaction.

notes on hanG, and this a5sorbs large account.
Ii is also TO be borne i'm mind that the rise in
prices has of itself swollen the sum of the deposits
and the amount of the loans. The shape in
which the finances will come before Congress is
a matter of great sOcitude. There many

paper money is loan "wtthout interest" from
the people comes home with melancholy force to
the hearth stones of the poor. who. in the extra
/ prize OF fuel and food, are paying with their
hearts blood for the use OF that money. The
number of men IN the army has been estimated
at 500. 1000. IL halfO them have families, and
those families consume the usual estimate of one
barrel of flour per annum each. then those fam
lilies alone pay S61O0O0 per annum tax on the
single article of -four which the shipper sells in
Liverpool for 81 80 per barrel less than IN New
York The pay of the soldier Is fixed at 81 3 per
month, while. by the of the paper money all
the articles they buy with il have risen 80 per
cent In other words, the soldiers alone pay
$50 600 900 per annum tax on Mr.. Chase's loan
without interest.
There is only one way in which the sorrowful
course OF this paper money can be retraced. and
that is, by truthful statement Of the present
amount of debt and clear statement of current
exDendtures-to present the exact facts to Con-

Looking After IL.

The joint committee OF both houses Of Con-
gress on the conduct Of the war has gone to the
Rappahsnnock. TO inquire into the facts con
nected with the late events at Fredericksburg.
This is locking the stable door after the horse is
stolen. This committee had better be sent 10
advance of the army to End out the weak points
Of the enemy and the safe places for attack.
JoE wnrear and SUxSKn should head the com
mission. We believe both jump on feather bed
when there is prospect Of thunder storm.

Fearless Judge.

Recorder HOFFMAN, deserves the thanks of the
entire country for tile fearless charge which he
made to the Grand Jury of New York on the
subject of the arbitrary arrests. He said
The removal of any person from this State
into any other State or Territory, to answer u
any charge OF having committed here an otferre
against the laws of either the United States OF
the State, is without the authority of law. And
every person. whether he be an officer or private
irIdiv idual, who shall thus seize and confne any
person whomsoever, with intent either secretly To
coufne or imprisOn him here, to remove him
out of the State against his will acts in violation
of the statute, and renders himself liable to in =
dictn,ent and imprisonment Upon the Trial OF
such indictment, the fact that such seizure, con-
fiDement and removal was by order of the Presi
dent OF the United States. Of any member of his
Cabinet or sJther officer of the Government, will
constitute no legal defense Neither the PreSi-
dent, nor member of Cabinet, or other officer.
mot judicial,l has any lawful authority to order
the seizure or imprisonment, or removal from the
State OF any citizen of the State. for any ofieise
whatever, committed. or alleged TO have been
committed, within its borders.
And again:
THAT in a State, not being the scene of actual
military operations not having even an army
within its borders, not even any soldlery. except
ing such ms may be on their way to fight the bat
ties of the Constitution and the Union, whose
laws are not obstructed or defed; where no form
OF the law martial can. by any construction. be
made applicable TO any person not mustered into
military service. il il my duty as Judge to de
clare you that tie seizure OF her citizens. their
secret Imprisonment against their will. their re-
moval from beyond her borders without author

their confinement in places beyond the reach Of

to them by the Constitution and by the laws, and
il is the right and solemn duty of the Grand Jury
to indict any person or persons who have in these

or, in case want of supplies or transportation in
terere with his movement. it is believed that the
force with which yOr will move will be sufficient
10 accomplish the object alone. The infOrma-
ton ihus far received here makes it probable
that, il the enemy operates actively against Gen.
Banks, you will not be able TO count upon much
assistance from him. but may have even to re-
lease him. Reports received this moment are
that Banks is fighting with Ewell. eight miles

Ike week or ten DAYS for the force to get to the

A WORD TO SHoULDER-STRAPs.-I is
singular that men who might conduct them
selves with decent prOpriety as private citi-
zsns, consider that a soldier coat gives them
license to behave rude, boorish and outrage
Ous. This disposition, we regret to say, is more
observable among those wearing shoulder
straps than among private soldiers. We saw
a Lieutenant enter Brainard's Hall, Thurs
day evening, during the performance Of the
MinstreIs, smoking a cigar. he stood for
some time with hat on, putting away at his
cigar, regardless Of every One--a thing which
e Canal street loafer Of the lowest type,
wouldn't be caught doing. shoulder-strap-
ped individuals are seen nightly in the thea
ter, occupying front seats in the dress circle
and sitting the entire evening with their hats
or caps on. Besides being extremely i'll
hammered towards the ladies, it is frequently
positive annoyance, for the hats and feath
ers which some Of the officers so ostentatiOus-
ly display may completely shut out view Of
the stage to those who may be so unfortunate
as to occupy seats behind them. ThepOlies-
men in attendance at the thsatsr will confer
favor upon the patrons Of the establish
ment if he viii put an end to such rudenssl
and annoyance.
We had been educated to believe that the
man Of war could be gentleman, but such
exhibitions as We have frequently seen Of
late, have shaken that belief somstimes.-
Soldiers can be gentlemen if they choose to be-
and when they are not, they are disgracing q
noble profession.

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, NOV. 70.
All the political prisoners Fort Lafay-
cite, including Pierre sOule, have been re-
leased.
Clafin, Mullen & Co., have given their
creditors notice that theywill payRll their
demands in full with interest.
The Falmouth correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Enquirer, under date Of the 18th,
says the presumption is that in very few
days we will have battle in this vicinity
that will eclipse all others Of this war, IN
regard to ferocity and ferceness.
There is not the slightest doubt but the
enemy is in great force on the other side
of the river, equal, if not superior to our
own, in point Of numbers. have reason
TO believe that General Lee is in command
in person of the whole rebel army Of the
Potomac, exceeding, without doubt, l25, 600
men. Their camp fires can be seen eX-
tending at least ten miles along the river,
and from an observation five miles back
into the country.
The enemy as usual has piekets out in
an almost imp1egnable position, and have
been for q few days past working like
beavers in throwing up fortifcations.-
Morning, noon and night, they are at it
with spade and pick, the dirt flying until
the walls OF rife pits are completed. Their
present position is on the brow ofa range
Of high hills, some distance back Of the
river, with heavy wood in their rear. It
is my opinion that back of the present
range of hills where their works are now
erected, there is another range which they
would occupy if driven from their strong
position.
The steamer British Queen, from HaVanu
Nov. 22d, and Nassau, New oath, arrived

papers. The Nassau Guardian states that

anything Of the kind in this city. It will
have a widt. on the river and on Merwin
street Of e5 feet, and a depth from Merwin
street to the river Of Ils feet. It will be 90
feet to thetop Of the roof. A dock is being
built on the river, 1ss feet long. Above the
first story there viii be projection to the
building, over the dock, Of 10 feet. The stone
walls upon which the building is to rest are
mainly completed. They are Is feet above
and feet under ground, being feet wide at
the bottom and feet wide at the top. In
the interior of the building are 43 piers, Of
solid masonry, each of which supports three
posts. These posts are each IA inches square,
designed to support the immense grain bins
above.
The piers are each built upon six piles,
driven deep into the earth. There are 700
piles driven under the building. The side
walls are all built upon piles. The grain
bins, 80 in number, will be As feet deep and
10 feet square. Their united capacity will be
2sO, 900 bushels. The portions Of the build
ing above the stone walls viii be built
Of plank, ranging from nine inches wide at
the bottom to six inches at the top. The bins
will be woven in with the building, with the
same material. Two tracks will run the
length of the building, connecting BY
switch with the C. c. & C. R. R. track. There
will be a transfer table at the river end Of the
track, so thatIoaded cars may be run in on one
track, and after being unlOaded, be transfer
red to the other track and run out again.
The engine house is being built at the
east end of the main building. It is 35
feet square. The bed for the engine is al
ready completed. 1t is built upon piles, and
the solid masonry, extending six feet into
the ground, is boIted through and through.
The engine is being built in this city, at the
Globe Works, and is q so horse power
engine.
Tho chimney Is nearly completed. IL 1 S
10 fest-squars at the bottom, and is to be ITO
feeti in height About 80 feet have already
been built; 10 feet Of the chimney is of
stone. The design is to have everything
completed about the building by the lst of
March, 1863 Mr.. Peter Thatcher, the senior
member of the firm, suPerintends the work
cOnstantly.
Although the above is private enterprise
it is some thing in which all are interested,
directly or indirectly, for its effect will be to
increase the business and hence augment the
prosperity of Cleveland. Thatcher, Burt &
Co. deserve credit for undertaking and car
rying out 50 extensive project in such un-
settled times as these. They at least exhibit
a confidence in the final solving of national
difficulties.
