mr. HIaIr'. speech n, concord.

The speech Of P,s'masier General Blair, at
Concord, New Hampshire, having been reported
in full, affords matter for much singular %coniec-
lecture. We will state briefly its salient points.
His discussion of the new origin of the war was
not materially different from that which is usu-
ally employed by those claiming TO be conserva-
tive administrationists but who have adopted the
views OF ultra Abolitionists. Mr.. Blair thought
il a ct occasion to condemn Tilton's theory Of
amalgamation and Wendell Phillips idea of ne
gro equality. II these have not obtained TO any
serious extent in the Administrations party, he
certainly wasted much force and argumen upon
a subject Of little importance he assumes
! emancipation TO be a settled fact; that slavery
is abolished by the rebellion and its consequences,
by the war. and the constitutional means accord
ed 10 the Government for its defense" But he
says: .'0ur civil war, closing in the manumis-
sion of four millions Of slaves, TO take equal
rank with six millions Of ensiavers. would be but

Financial and COMMERCIAL summary
for the Past w eek. -


Comparatively speaking. financial as well as
commercial affairs have been in statu quo during
the past week. pending the result oe the Nicks
burg and Port Hudson siege and the movement
of Lees army in Yirg MIA.
The changes in the prices of public securities.
or gold. have been small: but on the whole. they
indicate increased confidence. as Government
stocks have advanced materially. the coupon 6s
OF 1881 being up to 1899. The range of gold
was l42 to IDS, closing at 1881 in New York at
noon YESTERDAY.
The sensation caused by the dashes of bodies
of Rebel cavalry into Pennsylvania. ten days
ago, has subsidized. TO some extent, but there is a
great deal of anxiety existing regarding the de
signs of the Rebel General Lee. who has his en-
tire force in the Shenandoah Valley. 1t is most
generally supposed his o.ject is to move into
Maryland and make a flank movement on Wash
ington, or a direct one On Baltimore; and there
are rumors that he is marching on Pittsburg and
Wheeling. The army under Gen. Hooker is re
ported TO be in a position 20 guard against any
surprise. and to be fully and promptly advised of
the movement Of the Rebel army. In the
meantime. a heavy force under General Dix is
menacing Richmond on the Peninsula. Detach
ments of Rebel cavalry are marching in South
ern Kentucky, aud two raids have been made into
the pocket counties of Indiana The probability
Is that the demonstration OH the Northern States
will be confined to raids, and that Lees designs
are on Washington and Baltimore.
The news from vicksburg has rot been Of spe
cial importance since our last. We are informed
that the garrison is on short allowance, and the
citizens clamoring for a surrender. Johnston
the Rebel commander, has evidently collected a
large force in the rear OF the Gov eminent army,
under General Grant. and at tine las; advices there
was evidence that either a front or flank attack
from Johnston would soon be made. That the
immediate future of this war is big with events,
there can be no reasonable doubt. and in the
meantime is, to some extent, sus
pended. waiting the result; because. be that re
suit what il NAV, the standard of all values will
be materially changed as soon as il is developed
The demand for money in our market continue:
on n limited scale. and the market is easy at 6@e
per cent. The general dizziness of business fur
Their circumscribes the use for money. so that it
like many articles of produce, IS a drug in the
market. Exchange remains steady ut the ole
quotations. The vouchers of country Quarter
masters have become unsaleable, owing to frauds
which have been discovered-so that we quot

Instructions have been issued to the different
P0stmasteTs regarding the Observation-Disclosures to
the Post0fice laws, made BY the last Congress,
which will be in force July Ist Twenty cents is
charged for each letter registered, and the clerk
giving the receipt is to sign his name to it. The
arrangements on this point are such that a regis
tered letter Can be traced from the sender to the
receiver, or in case of being stolen. to the thief
The rate, however, is too high for small sims.
and should have been graduated according to the
amount, down to five cents.
Newspaper postage Was reduced BY the new
law. TO the following rates:
Weekly, per quarter. scents
S~emi-weekly, per quarter. 10 "
Tn-weekly, per quarter. Is /"
bahy. per quarter. 30
Magazines, notexceedins four ounces, are rated
as follows:
ssm,,monihly, per 8 cents.
quarterly, per quarter. "
Under the old law, newspapers were circulated
in the States where published, at half the rates Of
papers without the States Weekly papers are
still TO be sent free to subscribers in the county
where printed.
Transient newspapers will hereafter be charged
ftco cents each. gn
The most important change made in the laws
however. as far as the mercantile community j.,
concerneu, Is mat changing the postage on print
ed circulars, from one to two cents, giving the
privilege, however, of sending three in one en-
velope to one address, at this rate. The utility
of this latter concession, no one but a Congress
man can define, we believe. for more than one
circular to one address, with very few exceptions,
are useless and unnecessary.
At postofices where the gross receipts amount
10 81 .0O0 or more per annum. letters are to be
advertised once a week-at all other Offices once
a month. All offices advertising weekly. will
return their unclaimed letters to the Dead Letter
Office weekly. and about FIVE weeks after their
receipt; smaller Offices will return theirs monthly
The franking privilege heretofore granted to
postmasters at offices where the gross receipts
amounted to less than 5000 per annum is abol
ished, and o tmasters are not allowed to frank
any letters except those upon official business
which must be so iDdorsed. with the name Of the
postmaster.
There are some provisions of the law which
require additional labor by postmasters and
clerks. Among these are sections 3 and A. by
which the postmaster is required to keep a record
of each days transactions. showing the entire
amount of money received each day. giving
separately the amount received for letter post
ages. for regular newspapers. for box rent, &c.
The postmaster at every postofhce, large OF
small, must keep n list Of all the box holders
with the number of the box assigned to each, and
allow no one the use of a box till he has paid
for il in advance.

KING Charles and his party would not consent TO

Then the question arose how to raise the money.
He determined to resort 20 illegal forced loans,

California vine.

California bids fair to rival the world
in the cultiyations Of the grape and the
manufacture of wine. In the Sonora
valley alone there are said lobe 607, 900
grape vines in bearing condition and
500.600 which have net yet come into
bearing. Already the wines of Califor-
MA, undoubtedly the purest and best
comming TO US by ship, are oferd ex-
tensively throughout the Eastern States.
Objection is made to California brandy
that it lacks the color aad strength pecu-
liar If French brandy. But those who
know how, and where, and Of what the
French brandies offered in this vicinity
are concocted, give Ee1y decided pre-
ference TO the California article. A
little reading on familiar subjects would
cure a. large majority of our people of
their preferences for any description Of
European liquors, fotir-ffihs Of which
never crossed the Atlantic oceon, and a

may be sure are manufactured of any
thing but grapes in England, where the

There is no stranger prejudice than
that which ieads,to the West 10 underval-
ue the intellectual productions of the
East; and yet no prejudice is more gen
eral tits not confined to any country,
or people of Europe or America. Among
the most intelligent classes, ninty nine
out of every hundred are IN the habit
of regarding the Asiatic mind as If Its
chief characteristics were ignorance and
imbeclllty. Those who remember that
there are great thinkers in the East are
very few-still fewer those who compre-
bend, or indeed would be willing to be-
lieve, how much they owe themselves to
Asiatic Culture When dispute occurs
between European and an Eastern
government. what we are most frequently
told is, that "these ignorant Asialics
must be made to feel thetr lnferioFitys-
that is, the cannon and the bayoaet-all
the most improved instruments Of car
mage and destruction must be brought to
bear upon them. If this is done, success
fuIly-if human life is sacrificed aud
homes are made desolate. until the con-
cession demanded is granted, the result
is taken as proof of the Western superb
oriiy; whereas, all i really proves is. that
the people of the West occupy more of
their time in learning 10 slaughter and
exlermIhate their fellow creatures than
the people of the East. Otherwise, ban
ditii are superior to the honest peaceful
citizens, who they rob and often murder.
If the latter are overpowerd even in their
own houses, and when well armed, and
have faithful servants to aid them, who
thinks that il is because they are inferior
to the former eahera intellectually or
physically They, are worsted in the
fight, SIMPLIFY because fighting is. a science
which they have not studied. Ii IS the
same IN the East, The people there are

had no such wars amongst themselves as
have desolated Europe.
