During the past two or three days some
tiu,id bankers and hard up spectators have
1,rcn frightened out Of their propEtety BY
the recent tlury in Wall street TheJ have bten
hntton-holfne and importuniug the NELL
brrs of the Board Of Trade to resctnd the
late resolution Of the Board TO mike green
hacks the standard Of business after the 18th
of Nav. When merchant goes to some OF
those bankers for loan, he Is told that the
money market has become SO tight in con
sequence Of tue resolution Of the Board, that
he cannot discount his paper. This is ono OF
The influences brought to bear to force or
scare tue Board into revoking the resolution.
Yesterday during Change the following
resolution was offered for adoption, but &C.
tion was deferred until this evening. ut 7:30
O. clock, when it will come up for discussion:
Reso1ttd, That in consideration Of representa-
tione made to this Board Of the necessity Of more

nrce1laneous currency to Treasury notes as basts
cd until the 1s Of July and that and afteE that
dntc Ill transactions win hc IN the basis Of Treas
nry notce.
The extension to the LIST Of July is simply
equivalent to indefinite postponement, and
if the resolution is adopted the people ofthc
West will regard 1t as complete back-doTn
at. tho behcst Of few importers
and vendors Of eastern wildcat. We
nnye q class Of money brokers who
borrow from eastern rag mills large sums Of
their stutT at four. five, or six per cent, and
loan It to our merchants at the rate of ten
to fifteen, according to circumstances. One
of the conditions Of the contract being that
they will keep the trash About, and not allow
it TO 60 home for redemption. Al this class
Of operators nsc clamorous for u revocation
Of the resolution OF the Board, and are apply
ing every means to accomplish IT. The cur
1ency lhey import and yend is the very
worst, as general thing, because the poorer
the stuff the cheaper it can be- abtained.
We trust tic merchants Of Chicago Will
attend this meeting tonight, and see that no
action fs taken which will prejudice the in
terests OF the Northwest AL over the West
ern States the people are responding to the
action Of our Board. The purpose is unlyer-
sal to clear the West Of wildcat OF all varic-

dard Of transactions. 1t is felt to be unsafe
to exchange the valuable products Of their
industry for Eastern shinplasters In these
peri]oue times. Sooner or later, most OF the
1ng-mills will explode, and the issues Of the
worst ones arc sent farthest from home.
If the brokers md spectators can give any
pood reason why the people oi the Northwest
shculd sell their breadstufls and meats for the

Of RECEIVING therefor the best, We should

Yesterday Afternoons Report.
FROM GEN. GRANT.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.
The HeraLd's 10th Corps correspondent,
27th, says:
Secretary Seward, Assistant Secretary of
War Dana, and Senator Washburne, of
Illinois, haN been on a brief visit to Gen
eral Grant. Yesterday morning they were
escorted by Gems. Grant, Butler, Birney
and Ord on an excursion up the river 10
the limits of our line. On approaching
Dutch Gap the enemy opened on them
with their Battery at HoWlett's House As
the shells began falling about them pretty
thick and tast, the Secretary suggested that
his weapon was the pen and seldom killed
people, and that he was not prepared to
encounter rebel batteries with that weapon.
Thereupon the boat was turned about and
returned down the river TO Harrison s
Landing, at which point the distinguished
guests were transferred to the steamer Bal
timoFe and proceeded on their voyage home.
All reports that have gone abroad that
the rebel Government are eYaeuating
Richmond are false,
1t is stated that JEFF Davis has gone to
Georgia toihead off Stephens and Brown in
their efforts to restore that State to the
Union. The situation in that direction, so
far as the rebel cause is concerned, is con-
sidered critical in the extreme, and nothing
less than Davis presence can reconcile the
citizens of that Stateto longer endurance
of the rebel yoke.
Hoods army is also reported to be in
such a state of utter decentralization that
the presence of Davis is necessary to bring
them UP to fighting point
A special TO the Herald Washington,
Sept. 18th, says:
Several deserteEs from Lees army reach
ed here to-day, and say that there are in
dicstions of the evacuation Of Richmond.
The Virgins troops, however, protest
against it, and should the rebel authorities
do SO, it would cause mutiny among the
Virginisns.
These conseripts declare that the Con-
}ederates are making preparations which
look very much like an evacution. Sever.
al government workshops have been closed,
the machinery of which has been removed
further South.
When these parties left Richmond, few
days ago, the machinery of other shops
was being packed for removal if deemed
necessary,
A large number of mechanics have been
eonscripted for the rebel army.
A special to the Times, Washington
Sept 2sth, says:
General Hooker has been appointed tC
an important command.
