NEW YORK, Sept. l7.-Gold Market is
weak, and prices lower; some large opera
tors had information of the capture of Fort
Fisher, which steadily put down prices till
it touched 2I41l.
The Commercials Washington special
says: Many COngressmen regard the e.
nance bill with apprehension, fearing to in
trust the Secretary of the Treasury with
power to initiate the currency at his discrs-
! ton.
Butler is now before the committee on
the Conduct of the War testifying why be
did not take Fort Fisher.
The Commercial in an article on the de-
fences ofssWilmington, says that Fort Fisher
has y guns, Fort Caswell 81, Fort Jackson
10, Fort st. Phillip 9, and other works esti-
mated at so !; total aumber of guns 200. We
may consider the capture of all these works
as a foregone conclusion. Those south Of
Fort Fisher are cut of and must surrender |
upon demand, while those above cannot |
hope to resist upon the approach of our
feet and army.

a resolution of the Assembly, the Governor

TRENTON, n. j., January 17.-In the Uni
ted States Circuit Court, Judge Field deli
vered his opinion in the United States Re-
venue case.
The Trenton Arms Co., applied for an in
junction against the Collectors of Internal
Revenue, in order to test the legality OF his
assessment, Judge Field refused to grant an
injunction to restrain the collection Of the
Revenue Tax. He declared that he could
not be the frat judge to grant an injunction
in case of this kind, that the power to IS
sue an injunction was always delicate and
often dangerous power, and that this be-
ing particularly so in the matter Of taxation
it ought never to be granted. Unless there
was clear case for the exercise Of power,
it might be of 8 most serious consequence
at times like this, for Courts to interfere by
injunctions, to restrain United States Asses
sors and collectors in the discharge of their
duties.
