The Secretary's Policy.

It's important to know, so far as possible
the future policy OF the financial minister Of
the Government; and especially ut this time
when, to make gambling speculations prohta.
BILE, an uncommon food of false assertions and
theories damaging to the public credit, are
boldly circulated.
The excitements got up in Wall street by
gamblers in Stocks and Gold, are tclegraphed
erywherc--exaggerated- the outside pub
lie naturally feel that there is some great wrong
somewhere, when, in fact. there is nothing
wrong. There is only hullaballoo among the
bulls and bears.
Mr.. Chase will press right on with the Ma.
tionsl Ten-Forty Loan, just as he has begun.
There will be no change in the rate OF interest.
He will make no temporary loans OF the Banks,
but viii take money from the people or the
Banks at FIVE per cent. interest, payable on ten
days. notice. as heretofore; and he will run
the usual line Of one-year Certificates. lie will
sell the surplus gold from customs, after set.
ting aside an amount sufficient for six months
interest, and use the proceeds, as the spirit and
letter of the law demands, partly in sinking
fund. and partly for the current expenses OF
the Government.
He appeals dfresh 10 the people in this the
most trying military and financial period OF
the rebellion. to come forward with heart and
money. He lis reducing the volume OF currency
gradually, and will continue to do SO. II the
stock and gold gamblers shall again attempt
the game they played last week, he will bring
the whole power of the Government, and Its
whcle means, both here and abroad, to check
mate them.
The Secretary Of the Treasury relies upon
the People for the rays and means; upon the
Army for victories, and upon Congress for ade'
quate taxation. :,
The people will come to his help with every

true interest; il Is their true safety. The ar
mics now will do their psrt-there is no alter.
native but victory. Congress will do Its duty
Il dare not falter.
To those capitalists who complain that Mr.
Chase ought to pay higher rate OF interest
we say, pointedly. that per cent. obligation
against the American people is better than

Summary of the Battles.

On Thursday Of last week was fought the
most desperate battle Of tho series OF con-
nicts in Virginia. A little after daylight
Hancock made the most brilliant charge Of
the war, storming the centre Of the rebel
line, capturing Johnson's entire division and
large number Of pieces Of artillery. Sub
sequently wright's corps made valuable cap
lures. A severe blow was inflicted upon
Lee's army, and our lines were advanced a
short distance and both armies entrcnehed
themselves. On Friday, Saturday and SUM-
day, with the exception OF skirmishcs, no
fighting has been done, the great rains rem.
derins an advance impossible, while up to
this time Of writing all has been quiet this
week, except throwing q few shells tofccl the
enemy. Both sides are being largely rein
forced.
The report Of Gen. Sheridan's raid dis
closes the fact that no has destroyed Lees
communications and a large amount OF rebel
supplies, and joined Gen. Butler, thereby
giving him cavalry force of probably l5,-
900 to harass the rebels south Of Richmond.
Notwithstanding counter reports, the Rich
mond Dispatch gives the particulars Of the
funeral of j. Z. d. Stuart.
The latest dispatches FROM Gen. Buffers
department arc favorable. His cavalry has
severed all railroad communication between
Richmond and tho South. Latest adviccs
report the investment OF Fort Darling. This
week the enemy have made repeated sortie'
and there has been some fighting, resulting in
every case in tho rcpulso Of the rebels.
It is officially stated that Dalton has been
evacuated by Johnston. Hc made stand at
Rcsaca Is miles south Of Dalton from which
place he was driven on Sunday night, after
two days fighting. The news from oil quar-
tors are very encouraging, except from the
extreme southwest. Conflicting reports
relative to our forces on the Red river, have
been in circulation. We are hoping that a
favorable turn oil Affairs VIII accompany the
arrival Of Gen. Candy.
The rebel States are stripped of all troops
to reinforce Lee. Gen. Grant and the Gov
ernmcnt accept Virginia as the battle ground
Of the war. and there tho rebellion must re-
ccivc its quIctus. We have no doubt OF the
result. The greatest difficulties opposed to
the National army have been overcome; Tor
Leo can never again be Us strong as no was
with his large army occupying the stratesi-
cal position Of tho Wilderness. From oil
tho reports Of our military situation we may
DO assured that each successive day is fast
bringing us to the time when the National
authority shall be undispated over every inch
Of our territory.
