gamblers aud speculatorsin Government stocks
areatstheir old business of circulating sensation
reports for the purpose Of affecting the cold
Room and the stock market. They enjoyed
excellent opportunities for thissduIlng the pro-
gress of the war, but since the return OF O
acestheir' occupation has almost VANISHED
They have awaited themselves OF the troubles
in Mexico and the presence OF the Unlteo
States troops on the Rio Grande to circulate
report to the effect that we are on the eve OF
war With France By thismeans the premium
on gold has been advanced and Government
securities have declined, of course only tempo
rarily.t It is needless to say that these reports
are all groundless, to use no stronger term. =
The Goyernmenc has received no information
whatever of any difficulties between our troops
and the Impcrialists on the Rio Grande, nor
does it expect to receive any. People, who do
not wish to be caught in the trap set tor them
by these gamblers will act accordingly.

intentions of the suspected movement are gwen

excitement has been caused by reports OF freed
men as ito the plan Of the blacks to possess
themselves sc lands, &C., but will not trouble
the public With theirrecital. Such an outbreak
car only result in great injury to the instgators
The subject should receive the proper atteu-
tion of the authorities There are so many
idle and dissatisfied negroes in the State, with
little Sor nothing to do, that it is not easy to
say what they might attempt .>.s..5s5..1

perty of the rebel Government, on the ground
that the property selzed belonged to August
Belmont, the New York agent Of the French
Rothschilds Count Monthololf has also sum
moned the French Consul st Richmond here
to prove that the; seizure was made against
the protest of that official.
The National Intelligencer says THE de.
narture of Lieut. Gen. Grant for Rchmo nd
has oocasioned considerable conjecture. The
prevailing imp preston is that he has been depu-
ted by tie President for a. line of duty con
nected With high political considerations. LIT
ispublicly announced that his tour will proba-
BIZ embrace Charleston and and other Southern
>eities, while the suggestion has been made
that & may extend to New Orleans, and even
further beyond the Mississippi"
