on Wednesday, There is little business paper
made; most Of the business speculations being
carried on with cash capital. The movement
in breadstuffs is greatly facilitated by the abun

partly by desire to realize, and partly from a
prevailing apprehension that the requirements
Of money for more regular business may dimin-

count Of it is thought, by some tits exaggerated,
but the Herald receives it as true and says that
the Consuls Of foregn nations who take part in
the civil war, SO far as to give aid to the enc

receive on deposit Confederate funds to sustain
the credit Of Confederate bonds, they are clear
ly implicated as volators Of the neutrality Of the
nations which have accredited them, and the
funds so deposited are the legal prize Of the

An extract from private letter written from
Franklin, Va, to Cincinnati, says: "General
Fremont pronounces the Mcdowell battle one

Of the war With handful Of men, not over

stroyed, without adequate transportation and no

The Washington National Republican says:
I'VE hear that nearly $1,000 troops are sick
disabled and missing that are down On
the pay rolls and who are under pay It IS ru-
mored that a very large number Of the troops
that went down the Potomac to march upon
Yorktown are in the list Of the sick, and that
they are not included in the above. The pa
pers at the War Department tx the entire
number Of Government troops to be some
where in the neighborhood ofsix hundred thou
sand. It is safe at least to deduct one hundred
thousand from this number as incompetent Tor
