FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
MONETARY.

THURSDAY EVENING, teb. =, 1865.
The reports that President Lincoln and Secrc-
tary Seward hare gone to Fortress Monroe, to
meet the rebel Commissioners, have had nc. visible
effects on monetary affairs to-day. Gold 10 weak
and ucmu1ous, but not more SO than il has been
for several days, and 1t Is not go low as 1t was
when Blair made his second trip to Richmond.
The truth is, but few people seem to place conf-
dence In the movement as peace measure. Tho
rebels have not Jet shown sigus Of penitenee and
snbmfesion-and until they do go, there is no use
Of hoping for any other peace than that which Is
won at the point Of the bayonet. The passage Of
the amendment TO the Constitution in the House
Of Representatives, few days aince, Is clear
barrier 10 those who would reconstruct the Union
with slavery, the "chief corner stone Of the Con
federacy," and there has been too much loyal
blood Epilt to permit the United States to
submit to any :: other terms than
are embraced in the term, unconditional sur
rcnder." The feeling among the people, without
distinction Of party, Is that tho rebels must first
lay down their arms and then deliver up their
leaders before peace can be declared; and
when this ia accomplished, 1t will be lasting
peace, one worth fighting and dying for. Before
this end can be attained, In our opinion, Gen.
Grants army must destroy or materially cripple
that OF Lee, and Sherman must make as victorious
march northward as he did through Georgia.
Charleston must be taken or destroyed, and Will
mington must be occupied by Federal troops. No.
bile must all, and the rebel hordes In the South
west be broken mp and yanquished. When ali
these things are done, and rebel commissioners
apply for IN interview with President Lincoln,
then ne may begin to make mp our minds that
peace Is not tar oil.
The demand for money continues still in excess
of tho supplv. and the market Is very stringent.
The numerous applications for extensions of pa-
per which Is now mature, and which can scarcely
under the present dull state Of the markets be de-
MED, have prevented bankers from discountinE as
much as usual, and needyborrowers hare bud to
