VIZ are glad to know that the reported
Bethany difficulty was settled yesterday by
conference between the Governor and
several citizens Of that place and vicinity,
who came down at the Governors request.
As we understand it, the whole affair has
been very much exaggerated. We learn
also that four students have been dismiss
ed, and that the rest of the studeuts-a
large pumber-are very orderly aud quiet
cls5s of young men. Every assurance was
given of the quiet and order of the college
aud community.

SECRETARY SrANroN's annual report was
made SO late aud furnishes so mesuer a
skeleton of the affairs of the war depart.
meot that it is now of very little Interest,
Mr., Stanton will never be accused of civ.
ing information to the enemy. Among
the statistics not before printed is the
statement of the unpleasant fact that in the
year ending with September last there were
SO, 1872 deserters from the Uaiou armies
arrested. As the number that escaped ar.
rest must have heeu still larger, it 10 easy
to understand why the successive calls for
troops have failed to keep the armies full.
Over 1876 900 veterans were re-enlisted in
the tall of 1868, ou the LAT of November
last the enrolment lists of the country
Ass. 226 names. The veteran
reserve corps consisted on the Isl of oe,o.
Der of 7s4 officers aud IS. Tss men. The
total expenses of the enrolment and draf,
for the year ending with October were
S4ol6 72s. Nothing is said of the number
or efficiency of the freedmen enlisted il III.
army, aud the only allusiou to the Negroes
is the statement Of the Quartsrm.s,er esn
'ral that he has been unable to obtain
sufficient number for labOsers in his de-
parsment.

Tue Louisville Journal quotes Union
maj general, who has spent much time
in the South during the war. as saying that
there was nothing be SO earnestly desired
as that the rebels should arm their ne.
groes; he believed it would be the death
of the rebellion. Senator Hunter of Vir-
ginia, though voting for the bill and carry
iog it through the Senate by one majOrity,
under imperative instructions from the
state Legislature, declared the same opinion
with great earnestness. The experiment
would have been hazardous enough, pc .
litically, if undertaken with weight OF
opinion 10 its favor; but it has been carried
against the decided convictions of the ma
jority in the rebel congress, and under
solemn protest of the descendants that ii
is fatal measure. There is the same di.
vision among the people, and it is not a
mere question of policy with most of them,
but of principle. They regard it as the
abandonment of the 6rst aud only real
cause of the war; while those who have
no direct interest in the institution itself
cannot fail to see that it is the last despe.
rate resort of leaders whose cause is al.
ready lost. This will inevitably be the
moral effect on the people of the south,
and it will certainly increase the discord
and encouragement already SO great.

THR export of FiVe-twenty bonds has ex-
hausted much larger proportion of the
issue than is generally supposed. Tho
original was ssh. O0O. 900. Otthat amount,
SlO2. OOO. 900 are registered leaving $780,
600, 900 as the total issue of coupon bonds.
It is ascertained, from careful inquiry, that
coupons representing $lOe, OOoo. 600 of
bonds have been paido on account ofFrsnk-
fort firms. and that coupons on sos. ooo,-
600 have been paid on account of Amster-
dam. Parties we'll acquainted with the
movements of our securities in London es-
innate that there are $4,000, 900 more ct
that centrei part of which have been sold,
and part are held on account of New York
houses, who have sent them there for sale
when the marketfaVors. Important amounts
have been sold in London, to our own
citizens. for gold which has been sent there
during the war for safe deposit. So that,
upon the whole. the estimate of $40, 900, 900
held in London may perhaps be considered
reasonable. From these estimates it would
therefore appear that we have now il the
United States only about $3.50, 900, 900 of
the old issue of Fiye.twenty coupon bonds;
and judging from the steady continuance
of the demand, under the improving credit
of the Government, it would appear highly
probable that this balance may be soon
exhausted. unless the demand should turn
upon the new issue. or upon Ten orties,
both of which are at present cheaper than
the old issue of Five.twenties.
Estimating the bonds sent abroad to have
cost, on an average, 45 in gold, it would
appear that about $I27, OOO, 900 of foreign
capital has been invested in our securities.
We're it not that the bGads have been
bought at such an immense depreciation,
We might fatter ourselves UPON such
large amount of unsolicited aid ftVm for.
eigu capitalists. The amount of govern
ment bonds now held in Europe will involve
an annual payment of about SIT, 600, 900
in gold in interest, which in seven and q
half years willreturn to the holders of the
bonds the whole amount originally in.
vested. With such prodigal rates ofiuter.
est, and vigorous republic to insure their
regular payment, it is not surprising that
the Germans should have been so ready to
buy up our securities; the wonder will be,
if they do not want large amount more
