A. the New York stock exchange, on The I7lb,
gold opened at 1901, and closed At l6l. In
Baltimore, on the 18th, gold was quoted at 1914
to 163. The Washington correspondent Of The
Herald says;
It IS feared hero that tho passage Of the Gold
bill will not effect tho object of reducing the

lions Imposed relieve al spprehensi0ns of The
Secretary being able to effect the market by q

the exact amount TO bs disposed Of and win be
ready to absorb il.
The correspondent Of another papr Eays:

that under its provisions gold would slowly 90

Secretary Of the Treasury, ii is said, will be to
let Mr.. Cisco daily supply merchants with cer-

The letter OF the New Orleans correspondent
of the New York World, Of the 9ih inst, tells a
different story from Sherman and Battarfeld
about the result Of the late expedition. Hear
him;
To-day the column of rsinyssion of Lower
West Louisiana is 10 set ous from franklin,
La, just beyond the Tsehe. Il is generally un-
dorst0od that Gen. Banks is 10 accompany it In
person.
em very much disappointed in the strength
of this expedition and its material. do not
believe Shat the Infantry fOres sent forward will
at all compare with that which made the same
trip lass summer ard fall; and tbough the artil-
lsTy and cavalry are very far superior 70 what it
WAS then, they are by no means equal to the re-
quirements Of such an enterprise as this pro-
poses to be. I Suspect, however, that more de-
pendenee is placed on Porter and Sherman
above than on this which goes from here, and
that all thsy expect Banks TO 90 is to occupy
the attention of Taylor, while they step in and
deal the heavy blows.
If, however, as Just been reported to me- by
q reliable person." Sherman has received or
ders to abandon any effort to- assist Banks in
his Red river enterprise, but to proceed at once
with al his dispossble forces by the nearest and
most practicable route, to Grants reinforcement,
Il, 900 msn, the remains of his gigantic raid
ers,'' it is not likely that Banks seriously con-
tsmplates any extensive campaign at present in
westerly direction.
The news as I got it from Vicksburg is, that
Sherman brought back - ,000 men, having left
5 200 behind that he had no spoil with him,
neither trains nor mules, nor many eontrabands
or refugees; but bis men claimed TO have done
the rebels great damage, and to have taken IS
many prisoners as they lost. Ny informant did
not ssss any Of them bat the refugees, snd these
had followed the army after their property bad
been destroyed, begging for bread and clGmor-
ous fer reimbursement.
According TO this view of the matter, unless
the eighteen OF twenty Thousand men reported
to be under Bragg, Kirby Smith and Taylor,
up the Rsd liver country, prove TO be mere men
Of straw, this movement will turn cut for the
present only reconnaissance in foTces though
il may possibly investigate the hiding places Of
buried or concealed cotton, whose owners will
gladly take any number Of oaths to be able TO
exchange il for good servicssble clothing sRd
provisions. In the meantime the presence Of
General Banks at the sham fire got up yesteT-
day to sest the capacities Of our steam and other
FIRE engines, is proof enough thst tho expedi,
ton is not to set ont tomorrow on forced
march, Msjor-Gsn. Banks going at their head.

A dispsschfrom Louisville, dated the sixteenth,

suit of the expedition, including the Smith and

90 locomotives, % ears, 10000 hsles cotton
