Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, Dec. 29.-The
reports which have been circulated for day
or two, that gunboats from Cairo had as.
cended the Cumberland and bombarded and
destroyed GAINESVILLE, are thought to be
false or exaggerated; but we learn on ex.
cellent authority that gunboats on Sunday
last attacked and reduced battery on the
Cumberland, commanding the approach to
Henry, near the State line.
Green river bridge is fast approaching
completion.
Strenuous efforts are being made for the

early forward movement is anticipated.
The city, however, is full of officers of duty.
Gen. Garter, commanding the East Ten

NEW YORK BANKS SUSPEND.
A General Suspension Of Specie Pay
ments Initiated

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-At a conference
of our city banks, Saturday evening, by a
unanimous vote they resolved upon an inn
mediate suspension of specie payment. The
heavy drafts on their coin, caused by their
large advance to the Government rendered
this step in their judgment necessary. We
presume it will be quite generally followed
in the large cities, though the drain upon
our city banks results from causes which
tend rather to strengthen than weaken the
banks of the interior.
New York, Dec. 3O.-The bank state.
ment shows decrease in loans of 81 ,027,-
952; decrease in specie of $7,455, 657; a
decrerse in circulation of $I59, 1898; and a
decrease in deposits of $8,425, SOB.
On Saturday evening the banks did not
hold much over $23,OO0,OOO in specie.
Many of the banks are paying specie as
usual, while others are paying small sums
to customers. There is little demand, how
ever. Arrangements have been made for
an advance OF specie to pay portion of
the State debt, and interest thereon till

PHILADELPHIA BANKS SUSPEND.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3O.-The banks of
this city have resolved to suspend specie
payments in consequence of the suspension
in New York.

The New York Worlds Paris CORES
pondent, speaking Of the feeling of France
towards the United States, says:
Whether public opinion in England
grows hotter or not, lin France there is no
doubt that it is daily becoming more op.
posed to the bull dog course of the English
Cabinet in removing the Trent affair from
the pale of discussion and threatening to
destroy US in case Of our refusal to yield UNI
conditionally to its demands. The senti-
ment expressed by the writer in the indie.
pendence will find an echo in all the liberal
hearts of Europe. 1t is not for the inter-
est of France that our navy and merchant
marine should be "swept from the sea"
which the Times pompously threatens as
the result unless we succumb. However
lovingly the British lion and the French
eagle may be cuddling together just at pre-
sent, the far seeing statesman who occupies
the Imperial throne of France, has no dis
position to see swept from the ocean the
ships of a nation which disputes with Eng
land the preponderance Of the seas, and
which may in some future time render
France material aid. 1 am inclined to be.
lieve that there is some truth in the state
ment that the feeling between the French
and English Governments is not very amia-
bic on this affair.

The officers OF Porter's Division, which
was received by General Mcclellan on the
21st ult., received as Christmas Gift, a
general order, conveying the following com
plimentary opinion of them by the General
in command:
The Commanding General expressed bis
admiration of the soldierly bearing of your
command yesterday at review.
The cleanliness of their arms, the neat
ness and condition of their clothing-quali-
ications of good soldiers-together with
the ease with which each command was
handled, the accuracy and rapidity of each
movement, attracted the admiration and
commentator of the General-in- Chief and
other military officers, as well as of the
Secretary of War, while they realized the
expectations of the Commanding General.
Since the last review the improvement of
the troops in all the requisites Of good sol
diers has been marked, and when-probably
at no distant day-this Division shall be
thrust against the enemy, the fighting effects
of the good training given your men will
be appreciated by all Of you.

Billy Wilson'S ZOuaves.

A late letter from Santa Rosa Island says
serious difficulties have arisen between the
staff and line officers of the regiment and
Colonel Wilson. They are greatly dissatis-
fed with bis abilities as military man, and
accuse him of conduct highly culpable in a
commanding officer. All bis officers, with
two exceptions, waited upon and requested
him to resign the command of the regiment.
1t is said that he refused to listen to their
request. The officers seem determined to
retire from the regiment themselves, or COM
pei him to withdraw. They feel that they
have been disgraced by him in more ways
than one, not only since their arrival upon
Santa Rosa Island, but prior to their leav-
ing New York. The bad name which at
tached itself to the regiment is the result of
uncalled for misstatements on his part. The
public, by an unaccountable course of de.
ception, have been kept from learning its
true character. 49,.
Among the stories told of him are the
following: .e a
"Billy" was seen, couple of evenings ago,
to gravely" draw his sword" and subject
that trust companion to some hard usage on
broken bayonet, and in one of the camp
fires; and also to thrust it several times
through that historic pair of unmentionables
which be displayed such rapidity in i" but
toning up" when the rebels attacked his
camp. The reason for such strange treat.
ment did not at first appear ; but 1t is now
understood among he boys that he intends
to send them home as trophies. The Sixth
boys bave very prolific imaginations, and
the story may come from that source.

From the N. Y. World, 27th ult.
The large quantities OF arms recently ar.
rived in this city and on their way hither
from German ports, explain the delay in
military operations which has excited so
much public Impotence. These arrivals
combine with other facts to raise the ex-
pectation of early movements on large
scale against the enemy Our army has at
tanned creditable proficiency in military
drill and evOlutions, but the arms in the
hands of many of the regiments consist of
old muskets altered to answer temporary
purpose, but OF little use against an enemy
supplied with the best modern arms. Sol
diers cannot be expected to stand their
ground unless they have confidence in their
weapons. With od.fashioned smmoth.
bore muskets of short range in their hands,
they would be liable to run away when they
found that the enemy were doing terrible
execution in their ranks and they we're in@
ficting 20 injury in return. Upwards of
100000 Of the very best arms manuiactu-
red in Eurnpe will in the course Of few
days be put 10 the hands of our soldiers in
exchange for those they now carry, and
Immediately thereafter they will have an
opportunity to exhibit their skill in using
them. Even BERDAN's sharpshooters are
not yet in possession of their rifles. The
cause of the apparent dilatoriness of our
troops has now become apparent, and proves
the unreasonableness of the complaints that
have been so freely uttered. 1t is probably
Gen. McCLELLAN's plan to make simulta.
neous attack on the enemy at several other
points, while he leads the main body against
the rebel stronghold at Manassas, and thus
prevent powerful concentration of rebel
troops against any one Of our columns. He
obviously could not carry out this plan until
all bis men were supplied with good arms.
All the signs now point to vigorous move
ments on large scale at the beginning of
the new year. And when series Of vic
tories begins, the collapse Of the rebellion
will probably be sudden and complete.

EXPORTS OF ST.. PAUL DURING THE SEA.
SON OF NAVIGATION OF 186l.-At consid-
cradle pains on the part of reporters, and
through the willing assistance of our mer.
chants and shippers, the st. Paul dailies
this morning are enabled to give an accu.
rate abstract of the exports that have
passed through the hands of our dealers
the past season. 1t is the first time that
anything of the kind has been practically
attempted here. Hereafter it will be less
difficult to get hold of these statistics; and
the table now published will serve as val
liable reference for the future.
1t is proper to note the fact, that only
the produce that has actually passed
though the houses of st. Paul dealers is
included in the subjoined figures. The
great bulk of the wheat, corn, oats, and pork
crop OF the Minnesota Valley went below
without being landed at St. Paul. For in
stance, the Davidson line of steamers, and
the City Belle while she was in the trade,
carried the main bulk of the produce of
that fertile region, and transferred sacks and
barrels at the st. Paul levee to boats run
ming below, or transferred their laden bar
ges to these boats and of all this immense
amount of stuff, our statistics can give no
correct account We estimate that at least
100000 bushels of wheat passed st. Paul
In this way, to say nothing of other pro-
duce. We only give the actual transactions
of st. Paul dealers and commission mer-
chants.
The item of furs has been carefully en-.
quired into. This, too, is only the aggre.
gate of the transactions of st. Paul dealers.
Two hundred thousand dollars, is as nearly
as can possibly be arrived at, the amount
OF furs bought and shipped from st. Paul
during the year 1861:
