Nh. ROGERsoN's SIDE,
TIE NATIONAL GAME.
Atlantic vs. Eureka.

The doubtful aspect OF the weather yesterday and
the fact that the weather clerk has been peculiarly
and cXtravagantly lachrymOse this season initiated
most severely against the prospect offered by the
promised match between the late champion Allan
tics ana the pride OF Newark the Eurekas. The At
antcs presented their full nine for the first time and
although no very great evidences OF exceency were
given where they were generally looked for, there
was enough shown satisfy all present that the At
lantics Will be tough customers to meet during the
coming season, and that the expectations OF the
young Canadians that they will whip the BROOKLYN
ties in their ,lt at Niagara during the tournament
Will prove To be the progenitors OF mostTsastrous
hopes. The Eurekas-a party composed OF gentle
men who play the game with spirit most commend
able, and with whom II IL pleasure and an honor to
associate-were on hand in time, but were evidently
too weak for the tough, trained and tried nine pitte
against them. The game, however. passed on very
pleasantly and ended with the following score-

the lead, increasing i after passing Hoboken when

inaugurated the season Of model yacht contests.

General Grants Military Position and the
The Baltimore american (radicaD calls the sugRes
tion that General Grant should resign his military
position because he has been nominated for the
Presidency "a piece OF gratut0us meanness"
Washington correspondent Of the Providence Jour-
nal in this connection observes:--'The power con-
ferred on General Grant under the Reconstruction
acts is important that is unsafe for him to re-
sign. Prominent republicans insist that for the good
of the country he must postpone his resignation till
Congress meets again in December"
Ex-Governor Pierp0int VamOseth in Disgust.

Richmond hoped that the affairs of the republican
party would be so managed that could take an ac-
tive part the canvass for the adoption OF the pro-
posed constitution; but found that the three pow

political influence had in the State. Those powers
seemed to be harmonizng think, not to restore the
State TO the Union, unless under certain circum

MONETARY.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, OFFICE,
MONDAY EVENING. March 3. 1858. :
The money market to-day has disclosed
no marked alteration. Offerings of capital
were ample, but the demand for accommo-
dations has been of restricted character.
But no variation has TRANSFERRED in rates,
and we still quote u cent % annum, and
l0l4 % cent % month out of doors for
short gilt-edged paper, and l0lDl2 u cent %
annum for long-dated notes, secured by
first-class city mortgage.
GoLD-GOld declined to-day, owing to the
falling off of rates in the New York market.
The opening rate was l40b against l403, the
closing figure Saturday evening. At II it
was quoted at 1891; at IL it ruled at 1405,
and at 2.30 il stood at l40l The demand
and supply In this market have been mod
crate to-day, and the sales comprised only
the appended amounts, viz: $4,000 at l404;
$1,000 at l404; $4,000 at the same; SIS, 900 at
l4l4; $4,000 at l4lb; $4,000 at l4l5; $2500 at
l4l5, and $1,000 at 14ll.
FOREIGN ExcHANGE.-The decline in gold
to-day has resulted in reduction of rates of
sterling and francs. The market was amply
supplied, and the demand was moderate.
The principal sales were as follows; $4,000
bill sterling at 1929; f3500 do at 1929; $4,000
and $4,000 Al commercial at 1924; $4,000 at
1927; $1,000, $4,000, and $4,000 at 152; $1,000,
fl500, and $4,000 bill of lading sterling at
1919; 8l500 do at l5li; $4,000 do. at l5l4;
f5O0O at 1919. 200, 900 commercial francs ut
3.75; 10000, $4,000, $4,000, and so, 900 at
3.734; and 10000, 5000, $4,000, and 80, 900
at 3.723. The closing rates were 3.70@3.6Sl
for bank francs, and 3.75@3.724 for COM
mercial france.
DOMESTIC EXoHANGE-The market to-day
has disclosed increased firmness. The mar
ket was moderately supplied with CONNER
cial offerings, as the recent sales of cotton
have been almost exclusively for foreign
account, while the remittance demand has
been at no time active, and the total pur-
chases by banks and bankers have been
confined to the subjoined amounts: $4,000,
SIS. 900, SIS, 900, and 800, 900 bankers sight
at ! % cent.discount; $40, 900, S36, 900, $780,

dence at q; $4,000 on St. Louis at 4; $4,000
and $4,000 five days at I ; and $4,000 and
$40, 900 ten days at % cent discount. We
still quote 2@i % cent discount at bank,
and 9-l66l1.l6 out of doors for sight checks
on the Northern cities.
UNCURRENT NOTES AND SECURITIEs.-There
has been a marked improvement noticeable
in city notes to-day. The offering supply
was of much less pressing character than
heretofore, and the demand, although still
restricted, has heen of a decidedly more
liberal tenor. The purchases included Sl0,.
900 small city issues at l41; $4,000 do. at
l45; $4,000 and $4,000 at I54; $4,000 do. at
