It will Ve remembered that the letter of 3 Mormon General, for ths truthfulness of ‘whic he bolds himeeif “individual :y responsible,” declares ym the most absolute terms that sue Commissioners pledged ‘We the Mormons that General J obnston would not advance swith his army from Camp Soott until he heard from them “the reentt of their missisn. The facts in regard to this ‘wflair are succinctly thera :—Ia the conference which the ‘Commissioners had with General Joumston # Camp Scots @overcor Cumming being present, @eueral Johnston made ‘® rough calculation as to the time at which he would be ‘ebie to break up bis camp and start for the Valley. Neither Captain Marcy’s nor Colonel Hoffman's expedition bad arrived at that time; but from the latest intelligence Geeeral Johnston had from them, he expected they woul1 ‘be im no that Be could start some time between the 15th ‘and 26th of Jane—probably on the former day. The Com- sievers would in that cago have ample time to confer with ‘the Mormons, and send back to the camp information as to the results of such conference. In connection with this, General Johnston male a remark that before he could start he would hear from them I) appears that ‘wpon this remark Governor Comming pledgod ‘the Mormons that the army would not advyaace until ft learned the resuk of the conference, The Commis- ‘sieners made no pledge nor particle of pledge or com- Promise w ‘h the Saints, who submitted unconditionally, ‘When the Mormons began to make a woilse about this fair, Goveruor Cumming wrote back W ‘fen. Jobaston and asked him What was the remark or‘ made, A similar letter was aderes ‘miesioners. The Commissionsrs fruia this city, and Gen Jebaston from his camp, anewered the Governor's notes mot only exactly alike in substance, but very similar in language, deciaring there was no pledge or promise mivea by any of them. The only pledge given was by Governor Oamming, and that was without justice, right or power. The Compirsioners had no control or power over the army; they always declared they had none; mone was en them in their instructions, snd had there been, ite unconstitutionality would have esused the commanding officer to disregard it if it at all eonfiicted with military reasons. S> much for this noiey @emonstration of the braggart Saints about the pledge of the United States Commissioners. In regard to the difficulty about the garbled report of the conferences, Carrington again called upon Commis ir Pewell. Commissioner Powell very distinctly in- him that be would have no further intercourse ‘with clerks and tools, but would go directly to “ his mas- ‘ter.’ Commissioner McCulloch wrote a note to Brigham em the morning of the 3d inst., demandicg an interview. Major Pirookie, of California, carried the note unsesied. ‘Det on making application for admission at the gate of the wal) which surrounds Brigham’s habigbions, he was re fened.

The universal testimony of the mercantile men is that the foreign fall trade will be small ; that in a short while the entries of foreign merchandise will fail off considera- bly, and that Mr. Cobb’s anticipatioas of an increase of duties, which will enable him to dispense with the second half of the twenty million loan, are destined toan early disappointment. These views may, of course, be falsified by events. It is reasonable to suppose that the working of the Atlantic telegraph cable—should it work successfully—will have a tendency to improve, secure and develope legiv timate trade. Every contrivance which multiplies intercourse between commercial nations gives birth to traftic; the telegraph, compared to which all pre- sent means of intercourse sink into insignificance, is not likely to prove an exception to the rule. Again, should tne gold discoveries on Frazer river answer the expectations of the Californian emigrants, and should a stream of gold of say half a million a month only set in toward New York from Frazer river this fall, it is hard to see how business could avoid feeling the stimulus. We have the money here on which to build up a great trade; confidence would quietly spring up, if these or similar incidents im™ parted the impetus which is now wanting. The gold export of the week and the year was as follows:— Steamer Empire City, Havas, doubloone $5,100 09 fohr. West Deanis, Laguapra, Am. goid. 6.000 09 Steamer Ameries, Liverpool, Am. gol 250,000 00 Do. do. goM are 475,86 11 ‘Steamer Northern Light.. ly Total for the week . - 786,731 11 Previously reported. $16,072, Total 1858... ..0006 ++ $16,859,610 67 Foreign exchange continued throughout the week to be dull and inactive, though no concession was made in prices by the sellers. According to the opinions current in Wall street, the movement of specie has been against the banks. A California steamer will be due early this week with a fresh remittance and a fortnight later advices from Frazer river. The event of the week in financial circles has been the proposals for the loan of ten millions advertised for by the government. We stated yesterday that a sum of $185,000 had been deposited with the Sub- Treasurer at this place, in accordance with the terms of the advertisement of the department; and, as this is one per cent of the #xm tendered for, it follows that New York is prepared to take $18,500,000 of the government securities. Much diversity of opinion exists as to the premium at which the loan will be adjudged. Some foreign houses are said to have expressed opinions to the effect that three or four per cent would be high; while certain do- mestic institutions which want the securities as a basis for banking, &c., are supposed to have offered to give as high as 107 or 107}. On one side it is urged that even at these rates the new govern- ment fives would be a good investment, considering the present cheapness of money; but, on the other hand, it is argued that a month or six weeks hence, | there are many reasons for believing that much more profitable investments wil! offer. On the whole, there seems reason to suppose that the loan, or the greater part of it, may be disposed of at rates not lower than 44 a 5 premium; while it is possible that | @ great proportion may be taken at « » Nothing will be known, however, before Tueslay morning; | the bids are to be opened at noon to-morrow. In the railway world the most important evert of the week was the declaration of the New York (en- | tral dividend, which, as we stated beforelin?!, was | the usual four per cent. It was expected that this would operate favorably on the stock mark stead of which prices have steadily declined ever since it was declared. Whether this arose from the | usual law of contraries which governs stock move- | ments, or whether the public were disgusted to tind j j that the Central, which had never paid more than four per cent in finsh times could still pay the game when times were admittedly disastrous, it were diffi. cult to say. Certainly, considering the falling off in public. If it earned four per cent this year, how came it to earn only four last year? Allusion was made in this column, at the time, to the fresh reduction in fares by the Erie. A correspondent suggests that as the Board of Brokers took cognizance of the ap- parent wrong-doing in the matter of the LaCrosse interest, they ought to appoint a committee to in- quire whether a director of a corporate enterprise is justified in using his influence and his means to force it into a path which is certain to lead to rain—not only for itself but for its rivals—in order to make money by selling its stock short? Also, whether, if such condact be legally justifiable, it is honorable or de cent’ ‘The course of the stock market has been generally downward thronghout the week, as the following table will show wiciiee Southern Michigan Ceatra!
