RUFFALo, Jan. q Gov. Fenton's mes
sage is published in this morning papers re-
commencing the establishing of claim agen-
cies for collecting soldiers claims for bounty
and pay. He advocates that MANNED and
disabled soldiers be cared for, and their PEN
sions be increased. The present National
independent battalions, and five bat
teries. Aggregate force, officers and men,
uniformed and equipped, $4,000. He advo-
Gates general encampment of the National
Guards during the coming season, and says :
The report of Superintendent Booking,
shows that on the Goth of September, 1865,
there 10Ibanks conducting business under
the laws of the State, with an aggregate cap
ital of $40, 1885, 70 and that SO banks have
retired from the old system and been con-
verted into National banks. The total
amount Of circulation, including that of
closed and closing banks, at that date, was
$27, 009, 449, of which sum there was issued
to incorporated banks, and those not secured
by deposit in the Bank Department, 81, 1885,
$50, and to banking associations and indi-
vidual banks S22, 81, 500. Decrease in cir
culation, $l3 los, 1876, and an increase in
cash of S9,03l ,539.
The system of a nett currency though an
innovation upon the carefully devised and
successful banking scheme of this State has
attracted to itself most of the banks of the
country at large, and seems to have acquired
the favor and confidence of the people. We
discover Its benefits in a uniform issue, based
upon the mutual faith and comparative i'm
munity from unsound and unreliable paper
which formerly obtained in some parts of
the country. The whole system guard
ed by enactments that combine the wisdom
and experience of the nation to make it the
most complete as well as the most reliable
system Of banking ever devised. The Gov
ernor devotes some space to the speculative
visit of cholera.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. "A fire occurred
to-day at noon. The buildings destroyed
were of brown stone, five stories high. Loss
about 100000. They were the most SUBJ
statial on Clement street.
All the money packages from Herndons
Express safe, and the greater part of the
freight in the building were removed. The
total loss now supposed to reach a quarter
of a million dollars, but the amount of in
surance is large, and will probably nearly
cover the loss. The fremen worked man.
fully to subdue the flames, and at one time
were throwing So streams of water in the
rear end of the building. Hill & Wilson's
loss $50, 900; greater part of stock removed
the building was insured. Perry d Co.'s
loss 100000; they are insured for S45,0 900.
PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. 1.-The freedmen
of this city and adjacent counties celebrated
their freedom to-day by marching in process
sion through the principal streets, and there
was speaking on Popular Lawn. The wealth
er was very unfavorable, but great numbers
participated in the celebration. Different
societies of freedmen donned their best and
turned out with banners. The occasion was
one of great rejoicing with them. Every
thing passed off in perfect order.
New YORK, Jan. 2.-Gen. Sweeney has
issued an appeal to the Fenians not to waste
their energies in intestine strife, let deeds
not words be your motto, and strike before
it is too late. The golden opportunity once
lost forever, our situation is that of two ar
mics whose chiefs cannot argue upon the
line of operations. The vast intent of the
British dominions offers many vital points,
and as we cannot reconcile our views, let
each army follow its chosen government and
attack where his judgment tells him the best
chance of success. Let this disgraceful
squabble cease at once on the field of battle
then we will forget all personal difficulties
and factional prejudices, to remember only
our dear country and her wronge. Out Of
our difficulties the General says, can see
but one way of escape, it is to call in each
State Convention of delegates from differ
ent circles, and decide in whom they will
repose confidence, and then in silence allow
O'Mahoney and myself, each to work out
his respective plan for the freedom of Ire
land
