New York, Sunday November i, 1859.
TFIR SITUATION.
There are no new movements in the Army Of the
Potomac. The weather is intensely cold and the
troops are preparing to habituate themselves to
the comforts Of winter quarters.
No operations in the vicinity of Chattanooga are
reported.
From Charleston we hear nothing to-day of the
result of the recent bombardment.
General Hayes, who is to replace Colonel Nugent
as Assistant Provost Marshal General in this city,
is to have authority as general superintendent of
the volunteer recruiting service and chief muster
ing and disbursing officer for the first ten districts
Of New York including the city.
The United States mail steamship George Wash
inglou, which arrived at this port yesterday
from New Orleans, brings dates to the oath, and
copious communications from our correspondents
there, showing the operations Of the army in the
field, and the preparations for new secret expe-
dtion, the objects Of which of course are not re-.
vealed.
The Richmond Enquirer Of the 9th ultimo, ON
the question of the Confederate currency says:-
"The condition Of the currency has become
80 alarming that its Importance has risen even
above the excitement OF military movements.
From every quarter of the confederacy,
essays. schemes, expedients and remedies
are daily scattered broadcast over the
country, and suggestions of every character
aud description are urged. One thing is
certain and indisputable, that the present fnan-
cia management is an utter and absolute failure,
rendered 80 not by Mr. Memminger, but by the
people themselves. The funding scheme of Mr..
NJ. could succeed only by the prompt and
persisting cooperation Of the people, by
coming forward and continuing to convert the
currency into bonds. It is not necessary to in.
quire into he reasons why the people have failed.
The fact that they have not and will not volunta.
rily fund the currency ia an important matter for
legislative consideration"
MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
The united democracy of Tammany and Mozart
Halls had great mass ratification meeting last
evening at the Cooper Institute, at which Mr.. A.

one, and it showed its sentiments by cheers for
Mcclellan, for the democratic ticket, for Cover.
nor Seymours friends. for the next administration,
with Mcclellan and Seymour at its hesd and--in
a rather strange connection-for the Poles. The
last sentiment was most enthusiastically re.

for the man who suspended the hsbess corpus, for
the man who issues the greenbacks for Sumner,
for the renegades from the democratic party and
inally-following cheers for the Poles-there were
groans for the Russans-and groans given with
more than usual zest and vim. Was this because
