nr. LincoIn,s Last.

The following extract forms one of the chap
tiers in a recent letter from the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial:
The President and Ben Butier.-Some gentle
men. in conversation with the President a few
days ago, expressed their doubts as to Buffers
capacity ms an officer in the field. Well said
Mr.. Lincoln, 'if he does not succeed it will not
be my fault. l have set three of my best Gen
erals to watch ~him-Baldy Smith, Gilmore and
Weitzell. Now, ii they can't keep him from
doing harm, | am sure | ought not to be held
accountable for what he does"
This joke furnishes a very apt illustration of
the fidelity and judgment with which Mr.. Lincoln
exercises the powers of his great office. The
setting Of three of our best Generals TO watch
one of our poorest in the supreme conflict of the
war is of a piece with Mr.. Lincoln's general con.
duct for the last two years and upwards. He
has been sacrificing his country to his party at
this rate ever since he first turned aside from the
legitimate ends OF the war 10 carry out his own
ends i Lonisville Journal.
The yearly production of pianos in the United
States has increased from 1000 to 30, 1000 in the
last fourteen years. the latter number being the
estimated manufacture of the present year.

they did not purchase a single bullock. Hence, while the
supply is 800 head less, there has been sold to butchers
for consumption here about the same number, at the same
prices paid by them one week ago.
With only about go head Of fresh cattle received on
Tuesday, and but few buyers in the yards. the market
closed dull, with a downward tendency. IL is said that
for next week there will be only about 200 Western cat
tie, added TO the 1000 head held out Of this weeks mar
ket, and that the supply will be less than 5000 head; but
there is just as much reason to suppose that there will be
over 1900 on sale next week, as less. There Is, however,
good reason to believe that until grass-fed cattle begin to
arrive, prices will continue high

the high price OF feed, a1d do not reflect credit upon their
owners. But al the present high prices of butter, cheese

Good veals are very scarce, and command proportion
ately higher prices than beef cattle. The offerings are
mostly very common calves, such as no good butcher will
for a strictly prime veal. The quotations at the close
were; Prime veals l09llc per ID, alive; medium to
good Sa91kc; common S4eLc- BObs sod at from 81 10
- per head, and calf skins are quoted at 22c per ID.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
At the close Of last week sheep were higher than ever
before reported in this market The receipts have been
light, and the demand unpreced, ntediy heavy. Prime
w0Olced sheep old as high a. l4c per 10. alive, and shesred

Of this week, under more liberal arrivals, the market de

selling at lO9llc for prime, 999hc for medium, and ga
9S5ac for poor to common.

The arrivals are light, and the market on Tuesday was
quite active at a slight advance in prices. The following
are the quotations., as given by George W. Derman, 10th
street:

1t is believed that no securities offer so great induce
ments to lenders as the various descriptions Of U. S.
ability of private parties OF stock companies or separate
communities only is pledged for payment, while for the
debts CT the United States the whole property Of the
country isholden to secure the payment of both principal
and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from $50
up to any magnitud on the same terms, and are thus
made equally available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at
ann moment, and the holder Will have the benefit of the
interest.
The Funded Debt Of the United States on which inter-
est is payable in gold, on the 3D. day of March, 1864. was
s76s. 1884, $50. The interest on this debt for the coming
fiscal year will be -, 9s7 ,l2s, while the customs revenue
in gold for the current fiscal year, ending June 3Oth'
1854, has been so far at the rate Of over sIOO, OOO, 600 per
annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold revenues Of
the Government are largely in excess Of the wants of the
Treasury for the payment of gold interest, while the re-
cent increase Of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual
receipts from customs ON the same amount of importa-
tons to sl5O,OOt ,OcO per annum.
The authorized amount of this loan is Two Hundred
Million Dollars. Instructions TO the National Banks act
