“NO. 8 New York State Military Conveation. ‘THE MISBRABLE ORGANIZATION OF THR CITIZEN GOL- ‘TO THR EDITOR OF THE HERALD, A few gentlemen, in connection with the New York State Militia, have for the past three years associated themselves together under the above euphonious title, for ‘the “transaction of business’? for the benefit of the New York State Militia. I would beg to call your attention to ®@ few facts relating to the present organization of ‘the militia, and then it will remain for this military con- vention, par excellence, to say what good their half per cent representation of the officers of the New York State Militia, as represented in this convention, has done. The militia laws explicitiy state that members of the State militia shall be bona jide citizons, adopted or native. ‘The same laws originally state that twelve regiments should form the First Division of the State, and city and county of New York. The same laws say that the uni- form of all new companies orgauized shall be the re. gulation dross of the United States troops. The said lawa sey that no company shail number less than fifty dona fide citizens of the State. In the columns of the Hxkat, a few days since, the First Division of the eity and county of New York militia, under the command of Major General Sandford, was represeated to be ia num. bers (on paper) some six tuousen' mea, and that four- fifths of these were foreigners, I would beg to enlighten the citizens of New York upon this nt subject. The First division is composed of about 4,500 active men—of whow 4,000 are composed ofall nations, chiefly natives of Irelaud and the Ger- moa States. Of these perhaps 1,000 are not citizens, nor even eit intention to become such. Many hundreds cannot speak English nor understand the or- ders, unless given in their owa vernacular. Very many cannot write their own names, They form the uaruly and drunken portion of the militia that may be seen brawling and tum! through the by streets half or oom intoxicated after every parade, if they aro not already intoxicated in the ranks while on parade. In violation of the laws as passed in the State Assem- diy, Senate, snd approved of by the Governor, the Com. mander in Chief (Governor) permitted the irish regi- ments to be organized with their green politico-religious anti-American uniforms, and ordered them (although op! by General Sandford and the Division Board of sultry, district asigued (acm. Thus wetal wee assigned to them. unlaw! - and vioistion of the gubernatorial oath exalted the most intenso indignation amongst the native Ameri- ‘caps, and the consequence was the formation and or- aintee of the very beautiful regiment of American fies, commanded By Colonel Vosburg. This regiment ‘was gotten up upon the pure Awerican ticket, to check- mate “foreign influence.’ I believe its poutical charac- ter is now modified, So one great wrong on the part of she Bauenee Kennan see:ia chis®) Pp meee Schone a ater wrong.

Monvay, Jan. 8—6 P. M. ‘The stock market opened this morning with a strong upward tendency, end continued quite buoyant to the close. The leading railroad stocks were in de- mand, anda very large amount of business was transacted. The movement in Erie was de:ided, and most of the sales were for cash. At the first board Erie Income Bonds advanced 1 per cent; Illinois Central Bonds, 7; New York Central Bonds, 3; Can- ton Company, }; Nicaragus Transit, 4;Camberland | Coal, |; New York Central Railroad, 4; Hudson Railroad, ),; Erie Railroad, 13; Harlem, 3; Reading Railroad, 4; Galena and Chicago Railroad, 1. Tae advance in Erie Income Bonds is the most extraor- dipary movement of the day. The loan of foar million of dollars required for the liquidation of the income bonds and other indebtedness of the company, has not yet been taken, and to fill it up by the appointed time—the 10th inst.—the Buard of Direc‘ors will have to step in and take a large amount for fature disposal. They will be furced t» do this to carry out their pians. There was to-day a very great deficiency, and it will be nard work to make up the required figures. We are, however, prepared to see an announcement on the 10:h, that the loan has been taken at eighty per cant. That is already determined upon, for it would be fatal to report otherwise. The board of management of the Erie Railroad Company have made incorrect repre- sentations in regard to the operation of this loan, which will appear after the negotiations are closed. They made these statements, knowing them to be incorrect at the time. They call it now merely @ mistake, but we call it something else. We have another name for such mistakes, The company cann:t extricate themeelves from all their financial embarrasaments by this loan, and this was as well kmown to the directors when their s'atement ‘was pot forth as itis now. They acknowledge now that there will be a large floating debt unprovided for, and it will require the sharpest kind of flaan- ciering on the 1st of March to prevent the company falling into the same difficulty which in September last threatened its dissolution. The 10th inst. isso near at hand that we shall quiet y await the issue of the affair. Bids for the loan will be opened on that day, when we shall heve official statements for data in making our estimates of fature in iebted- ness and payments. The loan will be taken at about eighty per cent. That will be the maximun. The stock market is an enigma jast now. We hardly know what to make of tis rapid rise ia the fancy railroad stocks. Most of the buyers in the | State: street are weak men, who will make a smail profit when they can, and slip out. There are no outside operators visible, and we de not hear of any stock going cut of the brokers’ hands. The load is con- | fined to the same class of speculators, and will be- come greater as prices enhance, when it will require a greater amount of money to carry fancy stocks than at present. In Wall street money is easy on call, and the banks are anxious to put out such loaus, bat outside of Wall street there is as much pressure as at avy previous period during the past year. The banks ore afraid to extend their loans by discounting busi- ness paper having a fixed time to rav, and therefore are compelled to depend. upon the broke: to find use for their means, to enable them to eke out even decent dividends. Borrowing money on call, for the purpose of purchasing fancy stocks, is | rather dangerous business in these times; but ape- culators areused to great risks, and take them with- out much forethought. The fat of the banks avoid- ing business paper, and loaning money on call, is pretty goed evidence that they have not much con- fidence in the future, and wish to be prepared for apy contizgency. When the banks are taus cau tious, it should be a warning to individuals. After the adjournment of the hoary, the following tales of stocks and bonds were made at auction: — $10,000 Chicago and Miss, RR. 24 mort. Int. added. 613, 3000 Gr.

The Miner's Jownal gives actual increase of the coal during the year | from the anthracite coal regions, in round num! et 628,000 tons, and from the semi-bituminous re- gions at about 35,000, making an aggregate in croase of 665,000tons. This statement does not, of course, include the Cumberland bituminous coal trade. The stock of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been placed upon the books of the Board of Brokers. This was formerly kaowa as the Mount Savage Railroad, and was placed onder the existing charter on the 1s} of January, 1854. It extends from Frostburg, she centre of tue famous Cumberland coal region, to Camberiaad, where it has two termini—one connecting with the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, avd the other with the Boltimore and Ohio railroad. Including eide tracks, it is eighteen and a half miles in length. The capi. tal of the company is $1,000,000, and upon this amount it is believed as certain to retura a hand- some profitas any rcadin the United Btates. Its business is almost entirely coafined to the trans portation of coal from the mines to Cumberland; and for this business ita gradea are peculiarly fa. vorable. From Frostburg to Cumberland the descent is about 1,100 feet, so that little locomotive power is needed, except to return empty cars t the mines. Its business in coal transportation has steadily increased from 75,000 tons in 1850, to 234, 000 tons in 186:3, and 210,000 tons in the last three quarters of 1854—the first three months having been rendered unproductive by a miners’ strike The large tracts of the fourteen feet vein owaed by Messrs. Aspinwall, Cunard and others, iu the valley of George’s Creek, beyond Froatbarg, are about to be opened, and as soon as this shall be done it is said a connection will be formed with this road so as to bring down to Camberland a very larg: pro- portion of the coal mined in that valley. This mill at least double the present business of the road, and may be expected gradually to increase in amount for many years to come. The capitul stock is paid up in full, and the company has no indebt+daess of apy kind. The officers are John A. Graham, Mouat Savage, Md., President; Warren Dvlano, Jr., and J.B.

The Rome Exchange Bank has-deolared a semi- annual dividend of five per cent. The Bank ot Albany has declared a dividend of fifty per cent on its capital, in stock, to its stock- holders, who have nnanimously concluded to a cept the dividend ia this form. This raises the capital of the bank from $240,000 to $360,000, and gives to each possessor of ten shares five in addition, and #0 in proportion. ‘The va'ue of imports into Boston during the fourth quarter of 1454, amounted to $9,464,289, ageinst $5,523,205 for the corresponding quarter in 1853, showing an increase in 1464 of $945,081.
