URES,'-

tenders, authorizing but $50, ,000, 600 In addi-
ton to the S100, ,00o, 900 recently voted
for tho payment Of the asmy:
These points were an ag reed upon and tile
report wasdopte6- Opinions diferas to the
effect Of these measures Oh the market, but
prevailing impression Is that imitation Of
currency, with Its attendant evils must neccs-
sarilJ result for the present at least. Wh2t |
the ultimate effect Sin be must depend, Of
course, upon what impression the financial
world will receive as to Mr.. Ohase's intents
in exercising the discretion given him by Con
gress.
A proposition was made In the Conference
Committee, to unite both the House aud Senate
plans for bank taxation, putting on both the
6enase'6 one per cont ON average eof circulation,
and the. House's graduated scale of t21atfon
on excess OF circulation. Some Of the mcm-
bers OF the committee prevented this project,
though IL Is believed that after their report
had been made up they were almost willing to
yield. This may, therefore, be taken as some
indication Of wink course the next Conference
Committee Tlll take. After adopting the re-
port Of the committee Gu the points on which :!
they agreed, the House has tonight rcconsid-
VI t440t WV ~ NkAAjVAAtJ ~
aeretood that they are not satisfied with |
$500, COG, 600 legal tenders, and mean to insist
on more. Spectators assert that this will /
create another panic in Wall Street.
The provisions adopted by the Conference |
Committee mere In the precise shapeiu which !
Mr.. Chase offered them. The bankrupt bill |
was taken up in the Senate today. There il
no expectation in any quarter that it will be |
pressed to passage this session.
The House amendments to the conscrip- |
ton bill will be considered in the Senate to- |
morrow. Messrs. Richardson and Bayard have |
given notice Of their intention to speak, md |
1t may bc-although hardly probable-that |
the opposition will attempt to defeat the bill. |
They will have to- conflne their speeches to,
the subject in hand, however, as Senator
Foot, acting in q great measure as President
! Of the Senate, gave notice to-day that he
should enforce the rule, 1t being nov near she
close OF the session.
The Navy Department has adSices thst the
| Rhode Island chased vessel 800 miles north
| Of Abbeco, one Of the Bahamas, which she
supposed to be the Alabama, but the. Depart
ment thinks Is the Oveto. The Rhode Island
Is one Of the fastest vessels in the service, but
failed to catch the rebel stranger. The iron-
ciad Nahant hns arrived at Port Royal, and
the machinery to replace TINT Of the Wee

T. Casslus u. Cluy publishes card in to-day .
New York papers defending himself against
| some personal imputations, in which he
| charges that Gen. Hallcck is too intensely
pro-slayery to do Justice to the demands Of
this war. He says he has earnestly urged the
President to put Ben. Butlez In his place, nnd
says some Of his opinions will become better
known when Seward places less Of his ow1
and more Of Clay . correspondence before thf
public.
Clay'a nomination to st. Petersburg In
bee1 sent to the Senate, but has not beel
acted upon. Some Of the Senators ineinuat
, that after confirming him a Minister to snal
ID think bis performance sufficiently meritorio1
to make them in hurry to confirm hir
again.
McClellan's admirers are renewing the ste
=, ries Of Gen. SCOTS intimacy with aud afee
)" tion for Mcclellan ut the time Of the former
resignation, to break the force of the lat
- terrible letter Of Scott's accusing aicClella
:. Of insubordination.

Il: It; ted in his message that Scott recommends
Of Mcclellan for Genera1-in-Chlcf.
Il: The House las increased the number
new Major Generals authorized By the Senat
to forty, and new Brigadier Generals to OF
