VINO COMMAND OUR ARMIES.

The New York Express is evidently hit upon
the raw, by our statement Of the notorious
truth, that " the pro slavery fanaticism of the
srea. body OF the officers of the regular army
has thus lar paralyzed the war" The reply Of
the Express is SO charac cteristic that we copy
it.:

How litle, generals oi the Republican

attempt OF the Express to make the most oil

CAPT. RALPH lIUNT-We yesterday had the
pleasure Of seeing Capt. Ralph Hunt, Of the
Kentucky brigade, taken prisoner early last
summer in Western Virginia, on Cotton Hill,
At the mouth Of Gauley, 'on the Kanawha river,
aud since iminured in the tobacco warehouse
ut Richmond. lie was carried handcuffed
across the country, subjected 10 tauuts and in.
suits, and repeatedly menaced with loaded
weapons, on account Of his spirited reception
of these Insults. From various sources we
have learned that he constantly excited rebel
ire, by his contemptuous opinion, by no means
concealed, of the rebellion aud its leaders. He
came with the Richmond prisoners for ex-
change.

IMPORTANT FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT

The results OF the various conferences, held
here by representatives from boards OF trade,
chambers of commerce, and banking institu-
tiops, among Themselves and with the Secretary
Of the Treasury, may be summed up briefly, as
follows:
lat. The general views Of the Secretary OF
the Treasury are assen'ed to.
I'd. The banks will receive aud pay out the
United States NOTES freely and sustain, in all
proper ways, their credit.
Sd. The Secretary will, within the next two
weeks, in addition to the current daily pay
ment Of one million and half of dollars in
United States notes, pay the further sum Of al
least twenty millions Of dollars in 7 $40
bou1s to such public creditors as desire to re-
ceive the m, and thus relieve the existing press.
ure upon the community.
4;b. The issue of United States demand notes
not to be increased beyond the fty millions
now authorized; but II ia desired tha. Congress
will extend the provisions Of the existing loan
acts, 80 Us to enable the Secretary 10 issue, In
exchange for United States demand notes, OF

year. bearing ) CD per cent. interest, and con
vertible into 7.3O three years bonds; or to Dor
row. under the existing provisions, to the
amount Of two hundred aud fifty or three hun
dred millions Of dollars.
5th. 1t is thought desirable that Congress
should enact general law relating to currency
and banking associations, embracing the gen
sral provisions recommended by the Secretary
in hia report
9th. II is expected that this action and legis
lation will render the making Of United State
demand notes legal tender, or their increas,
beyond the fifty millions now authorized, un
necessary.
