| tFrom New York Commercial, April 26.l
| After protraoted interruption, indeed al
most suspension, Of business, connected with
the national bereavement, the markets open
with general feeling Of vigor. The tone Of
business Is buOyant in every department.
| operations are unchecked by any apprehen-
sion Of a collapse consequent upon peace, and
the general sentiment is to push forward Wig.
| orOusly, not timid about prospective difhcui.
| ties, but leaving the future TO take care Of
itself
The great abundance Of money continues
to foster strong speculative movement in
stocks. The plethOrR Of unemployed funds
appeared at period when stocks were eG.
tromely low, and therefore in favorable con.
dtion for operations for a rise. At tho same
time the market was largely ovcrsold by
strong bear clique, whose necessary pur-
chases TO cover their shorts have greatly
strengthened the upward tendency
The brokers are nearly all on the "bull -
side Of the market, and appear TO think that
tho rise has not yet reached its climax by
far. Tho expectation Of 4 further advance
appears to rest much less upon tho rcal value
OF stocks than on the prospect that con-
tinued abundance Of money will facilitate
speculative operations. The large earnings
Of the railroads, however, give considerable
w hho uhu Npotuiu-
tion to run up prices beyond what would be
otherwise possible.
In sOmo quarters there Is q very confident
expectation that prices will be run up to most
eItrayagant figures. II Is argued that the
reduction Of Government expenditures, con
scqucnt upon peace, will still further aug
meht the supply OF money, reducing the
street rate OF interest to four Tor cent. and
that with money so extraordinary cheap and
the roads IN n Aou-ishing condition, there
will be no diihculty in putting up stocks to
the highest prices they realized In 1864.
These calculations, however, perhaps, do
not sufficiently take into account the fact
there remains probably $500, 900, 900 more Of
soyenty-thirty notes TO be put out, and that
large amounts Of money will naturally 20
into those securities in preference to boing
loaned Mt four per cent on the street; nor
does II appear 20 be sufficiently remembered
that there is a possibility Of a large amount
| OF hye-twenty bonds being returned from
Europe, mn occurrence which would act as n
diversion Of the current Of speculation from
railroad shares

Tux RUSSIAN PLAQUE PREDIcTBD.-It
| appears that the terrible plague which is now
making such deadly ravageS in Russia has
been anticipated in Germany for q long time.

by Lenormand, and which at the time at
tracted much attention throughout Germany.

THAT in the year 1858 there would bo n

following the war between Russia, England
aud France would be an immense emigration
from Germany TO the West United states)
for many years; that the emigrants would
prosper In their now home, but time would
come when civil war would make them desire
that they had hot lel their JafheriaEd, that
after tho civil war had feRrfully ragged for

the time the war In the West had ended, q

extend across the Baltic, desolate Germany,

The first information respecting BOoTH's
crossing the river, and his probable where

soldiers, who were met with In oil directions
in that part Of the country.
From one and another Of these the clue Ia
Boorn's movements was gathered and held,

Of the party as possible, Lieut.. EpwARp P.

party, determined to mako short work Of
him.
When HAROLD saw the preparations for
firing tho barn, he declared his willingness
70 surrender, and said ho wouldn't fight II
they would let him out,
BooTn, on the contrary, was impudently
defiant, offering, ut first, to fight the whole

The bal passed through his neck. He was
pulled cut Of the barn, aud one Of his

THE REASONS FOR KILLING

the whole party might be captured.
