The Government Finances and the Bankers, &., &e. ‘Wasnuneron , Jan. 12, 1862. RUNNING THE BLOCKADE OF THE POTOMAC. ‘The Hxnaww’s Potomac river correspondent scnds the following report :— ‘The Ponsacola bas passed the rebel batteries at last. She came within range at four o’clock this morning, and ‘there is not the slightest doubt that she ran the gauntlet ‘tm safety, only nineteen reunds having been fired. Yes- terday morning the Pensacola left Alexandria at half past @even o'clock, and immediately proceeded down theri- ‘ver, escorted by the tug-boat Pusey. A large canal boat, Joaded with hay to protect her machinery, was fastened om the starboard side of the Pensacola. She had her top- (gallant masts struck, 0 as to lighten her top hamper as ‘much as possible, which deprived her masts of that beau ‘tial symmetry usually exhibited by her tall and tapering ‘epars, giving them a stumpy appearance. On arriving a, Wairfax beach, below the White House, she came toan @nchor, to await the time of her departure under ‘cover of darkness. The Stepping Stones reached ter carly in the afternoon. On nearing her the Yankee, King Philip and Harriet Lane, were just Deaving ber, thoir respective commanders having bad an fmterview with Captain Morris, commanding the Pensa- ola, and received their instructions. accompanied Captain Grumley , of the Stepping Stones om board the Pensacola. Everything was prepared for ‘he expected conflict; the deck was sanded, sponges, gammers and handspikes provided, and upon the carriage f each gun were a ten seconds shell and a stand of tape. I would have remained on board and come up on the Pusey had I been permitted, but while standing on tebe deck, First Lieutenant Roe gave orders for all stran- gers to leave the ship, and on preferring my request to le ‘allowed to remain, the lieutenant peremptorily, but not unkindly , refused permission, saying it would be contrary %o the captain’s orders. On nearing Mattawoman creck, after having left the Pensacola, wo saw the Resoluto ghrowing a few shells towards the battery at Cock pit Point, but they all burst short. This was don, 4m defence of a vesse! which the rebels fired at as she wag Paesing upwards. The vessel was compelled to put back, As wecntered Mattawoman creck tho rebels sent a shel) after us, but it fell short, Another shell was aimed at the Wyandank, which was at anchor quite up the creek. It burst within acouple hundred yards of her, in very good line. The rebels were evidently trying the range of their guns, in expectation of tho Pensacola, for there are Qraitors cnough to have given them information of her coming. Another shell was fired atacanal boat then entering tho creck, with a load of hay, but it fell short: At nightfall, after returning to Indian Head, Captain Cromly, at my request, put me on board the Yankee, ‘where | could have a better view of the anticipated engage- ment, especially as it wag believed that be would partici- pate in the actien. The Yankeo then weighed anchor, and ‘stood for the entrance to Mattawoman creck, and came oan anchor to await the coming up of the Pensacola. Presently a gun was heard from the direction of Quantico reek. It was succeeded by twoor three others. On Weaching the deck of the Yankee a flash of flame was seen from Cockpit Point, followed by the loud report of a gun, 1t was followed by another, when the puffing and snorting fa propeller was heard this sideof Stump Neck. She farned cut to be the Reliance, from the lower flotilla, ‘Mone of the rebel ehots had struck her. As she passed the Yankee, Captain Eastman bailed her, telling Captain Hannum to proceed to the Pensacola and report that the ‘Waukee was anchored by the buoy which marks the @banne) in five fathoms water. We now turned in for , ‘Bap. At half past three o'clock wo were roused up by the @Micer of the deck , who ordered all hands to quarters, an. mouncing that the Pensacola was coming down. There ‘was no piping nor calling to quarters, as it would bavebecn heard on the Virginia shore, but the men quietly turnod @at. Soon a black object wasacen moving towards us. The . Sky was overcast with clouds, which obscured the moon end stars, and everything was favorable for the business fm hand. The Pensacola slowly neared us and passed ‘within a few feot of our starboard side. Captain Morris, Mhaiting the Yankee, ordered a light to be hoisted. This ‘was done on her only mast. A colored light being run up ‘within a few feet of the truck. All hands were now at qearters. The strictest silence was enjoined, and every- ‘thing was in readincss to weigh anchor should that be ne. eessary. The light sorved two purposes. It guided the Pensacola in taking ber bearings, while it deceived the rebels, who no doubt took the Yankee for th: Pensacola; and while the latter vessel was slowly Stealing past the batteries at Cockpit Point they were awaiting her coming. A light is mow seen gleaming from Cockpit Point. It is answercd from below, and so on from Freestone Point and interme- @iato places. These are signal lights announcing the ap proach of the Pensacola. The lights occasionally vanish , to be resumed with increasing brilliancy. Is it now four e’clock, and nota shot has been fired. It is possible that ‘the Pensacola will be allowed to pass unmolested, the Fobols still deceived by our ruse? At Jength the cheat ix @imoovored , but too late, for the most formidable of the Dattories at Cockpit Point, that facing Mattawoman creck ‘end up the river. Stump Neck is passed. There gues a Bash, followed, after a few seconds, by the report of a ried field picce from the battery facing downwards. it 4s a signa) that the Pensacola has commenced to run the @euntict. A long interval ensues, and we begin to think =the batterics lower down will not fire. Another flash is seen, and after another long faterval it is followed by three more in rapid puccession from the direction of Shipping Pot. ‘The Pensacola returns the fire, for a bright flash is seen from the river, revealing tho dark hull and rigging of the gallant vessol; or can it be that a shell from the enemy thas struck ber and exploded? A light is seen below the Batteries; it is from the Freeborn, as a beacon to the Pensacola. Tne firing continues but slowly. There is a ‘want of vigor on the part of tho rebels, unusual with thom. Battery after batiery opens, throwing their shell, at long intervals, but the Pensacola docs not reply. Sev- entecn rounds are fired, when a more vivid gleam of yellow flame than any seen before Issues from Shipping Point. It is soon followed by a stunning roar, It is thy @momy’s biggest gun. A long interval of silenco is suc @eeded by one more shot. It is now five minutes to five @'clock. Tho Pensacola has passed safely. ‘Such is the true chronicle of how the Pensacola passed ‘the rebel batteries, showing that skilful as the rebels ‘are with the long bow, they aro contemptible with great guns, scarcely able to hit a target as large as York Minster or Miian Cathedral. The Pensacola has gone to Bampton Roads, whence, it is said, she wil) depart for Rew York, Tewait tho return of the Pusey to send you the report @ tho captain. I may be anticipated by your army @orrespondent at Fertross Monroe, to whom I hayo written. Atabout eloven o'clock this morning one of tho bat- tories on Cockpit Point fired two shots at a smail sailboat ‘Stump Neok, but without hitting hor, Soon after the @her batiory, facing upwards, opened with a big gun fa tho apparent endeavor to hit the Wyandank in Matta- ‘woman creck. Thoy do not seom to have succeeded. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE BANKERS, ‘Tho proposition of the Bank Presidents, in regard to our @mancial system, finds favor with neither tho Secretary Of tho Treasury nor tho Congressional Committees. It is ‘Bot regarded as any improvement upon the plan proposed by Seoretary Chase. It is considered as simply an invi tation to give the banks of our great commercial centres the absolute control of our national finances. At the adjourned conferences, to be held to- Morrow night, the Congressional Committees wil; fatisfy the bank delegates that the revenue bills will make provision to sustain the plan of the Secretary of the Treasury, and to complete the system of fivance already matured by him and approved by the Finance Committee of the Senate and the Ways and Means Committeo of the Bouse, This system has been carefully ‘considered, with ‘8 view not only to afford immodiate relief to the govern. &., NEW YORK, MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1862. ment, but to provide for the future security of govern. ment stocks and the unquestionable maintenance of the Publiocredit. It was evident that the extraordinary de- mandg of the government in the existing emergency could ‘be supplied by the ordinary means of a forced eale of Bonds, by which they would be fearfully depro- ciated, and the nation made bankrupt. The issue of de- mand notes was devised as the most economical ex- pedient. By this means the Secretary of the Treasury is enabled to meet all demands on the Treasury, an' when these notes shall have been made a legal tender ‘they will anewer in the place of coin in all business trans” actions, Itisno part of the system to depend upona sale of government bonds to the banks, but the system of banking proposed is intended to create a demand for the bonds, and thus fund the demand notes and at the same time sustain the market value of government ; stocks, Another important consequence of this system will be the dirscmination of the public. debt among the people and making the system eelf-sustaining in all its parts. Secretary Chase finds nothing in the proposition of the bank delegation to be preferred to the system recom. mended in his report to Congress. He leaves to that body the responsibility of carrying out the plan, devised with great care and regard for the future welfare as well ag the immediate wants of the country. ‘This plan will without doubt be adhered to, and all the legislation ne" cessary to put it in operation speedily perfected. THE DISPOSITION OF THE CAVALRY REGIMENTS. A difficulty is presented as to the disposition of all the cavalry regiments accepted into the service. The com manding General asked for twenty-seven regiments, and the whole number accepted and authorized to be is seventy-three. This is forty-six’ more than General McClellan wants or knows how to dispose of. ‘This excess will cost the government about forty- six millions of dollars of needless expense. It is Proposed that the number of regiments actually required shall be made as efficient as possible, and the others of fered the option to be discharged from the service or transferred to infantry. RUMORED CAPTURE OF HUMPHREY MARSHALL. A romor is in circulation that Humphrey Marshall has. been overtaken and captured by the federal forces under Colonel Garfield, but since last night there has becn no intelligence whatever received at headquarters in regard to the affair. THE POSITION OF GENERAL LANE. General Lane has not tendered his resiguation to the Governor or Legislature of Kansas, nor has he accepted the Brigadier Generalship lately tenccred to him by the President and confirmed by the Senate, nor does he in tend to accept it, as he doclared in that body, until he has resigned bis seat, of which the Senate will have full notice. THE CASE OF GENERAL BENHAM, In the Heraip, a day or two since, apperred a copy of the order of the Adjutant General’s office at Washington relative to a court martial in the case of Brigadier Gene- ral Benham. The whole order appears to be given ex- cepting a line or two at the close, which happens to be very material and favorable to the Gencral—viz: in sub- stance, that he is released from arrest, and is to await orders at New York, MRS. GAINES PERMITTED TO VISIT LOUISIANA. Mrs. Gaines, whose celebrated Jawsuit against the city of New Orleans was decided in the Supreme Court just before the secession of Louisiana, hag received permis. sion to cross the lines to New Oricans via Fortress Mon- roo and Norfolk. GENERAL BURNSIDE’S EXPEDITION. ‘The Coast Survey Bureau has detailed one of its most efficient officers to accompany General Burnside’s expe- dition. PAYMENT OF THE RELEASED PRISONERS. Twenty-five of the one hundred and ninety recently re- leased prisoners from Richmond were paid off yesterday and discharged. The remainder, whose regiments are still m service, will probably have their accounts settled to morrow, and be furloughed for thirty days. RETURN OF COLONEL VAN ALEN. Colone] Van Alen, President of the Board of Examiners of Cavalry Officers, returned yesterday. The labors of the Board will be resumed to-morrow. FROM GEN. WOOL’S DIVISION. Batrimore, Jan. 12, 1862.

C., Jan. 1, 1862. The Colored Men of Hatteras—Arrival of Contratands— Their Notions, and What They Think, &e. The Tilletts of North Carolina are, I should say, among ‘the happiest of its inhabitants to-day. Who are thoy? and what is the source of their joy? They are black men aad black women, and are supposed to be free. They have hitherto lived on Roanoke Island, the slaves of white masters; they now stand upon our sand spits, the Peers of white men, the fellows of soldiers, acknowledg- ing no authority but that which acts and moves under the eagles of the Union. They who exchange salutations on a New Year’s day in your rich metropolis know little of the wealth of joy there is in the meeting of men and ‘women who have come together again after a hurried journey from bondage. Yours is artificial, conventional, stiff; the Tilletts’ reunion is natural, simple, rude, per- baps, but mighty cordial. I cannot imitate the yell at first, the significant ejaculation, the grunt of local pur- Port, nor the shrug and the final loud langh that seemed to indicate an unconsciousness of the future or its respon- sibilities. Franklin Tillett, the father of the contrabands, and his wife, Ne ', are aged, respectively, sixty-eight and sixty-five years, They have passed their days, hitherto, on Roanoke Island, farming sometimes and sometimes begetting children. I have seen seventeen of the nineteen children who have grown out of the union of the old conple, and who have, it may be, served to re- lieve the austerity of wool gathering, hay making, and those other bucolic employments which make up the an- nual sum of the life of aslave. It will strike you as very odd that the children of this couple bear three surnames. ‘This comes of their having been the property of three par- ties. The children, instead of taking their father’s name, take those of their owners, So I account for it that, amongst these seventeen children of old Nancy, we have five Tilletts, four Daniels, one Drinkwater and seven Ashbys. Roanoke must become crippled in her resources; the suddea withdrawal of eight men, five wo- men and five children cannot fail to be hurtful to a community which before was, perhaps, poor. Indeed the abrupt withdrawal of $18,000 or $20,000 from the capita) of the town of Fireplace in your own State would be likely to bring misery to the stomachs of those who were left behind. ‘This, of course, is inferential; for I know nothing of Roanoke, beyond what I gather from old Ben, who, though a Tillett, and of dusky hue, is a purer patriot, a truer man, a stronger Unionist, than any of tho gand-burned ‘‘heroes’? who claim to be the lords of the soil of North Carolina. There may be those in your city who ‘can’t seo it;”” that is the merit which I have found in the Tilletts, but is it not worth while to seek to enlighten them? ‘The old Tillett of all is @ tall man, quite intelligent, and a close observer. He understands the issues which have led to the war quite as well as many of those who are paid for expounding them in the national Congress. His sone are equally well informed. Old Ben, of whom I have spoken lanely has come to bea leading man here in Hatteras; indeed, he would be listened to with attention in md convocation of plain men. He is, a8 I said before, a skil- ful inland sailor; knows all about the inlets and outlets, the winds and the currents, the moon and the tides, and would bea very useful man on the cost survey. Com. mend him to Professor Fache. Old Ben is the fifth son of Franklin and Nancy Tillett, and perhaps the ablest of them all. He speaks the Rnglish language well; his vo- cabulary is quite copious. Many have guessed him to be ® preacher, but he is simply a modest fisherman, who asks nothing but the privilege of laboring for a livelihood in “the land of the free and the home of the brave."? It is not worth while to detail the particulars in the charac- ter of the runaway Roanoke negroes which distinguish them above all of their tribe that I have seen; but I may say, in a general way, that these darkies, from old Ben to his chief mate, Jolin Flounder, possess tho germ of a larger cultivation and a higher civilization. I cannot in a letter of this kind fortify you with the proofs of this; but here is a poetic effusion of John Fiounder, which, though it may be inelegant, is not worse than those lines of your esteemed contemperary of the Tribune which you have so often published with earnest commendation. Let readers of the Hrratp who have sung Greeley with delight be attentive to Joh Flounder while he sings THM HANDSOME MAN, Madam, } have come a courting, ‘Your kind favors for to gain; If you will smile on my endeavors, Sunday night 1’ll come again, Sunday night Vil come again. Madam, I have ships on de ocean, Madam, I have house and land, Madam, bave wealth and statioun— ‘All shall be at your command, All shall be at your command. ‘What cares | for your ‘on do ocean? ‘What cares I for your house and land? ‘What cares | for your wealth and station? All I want is @ handsome man, All] want 18 2 handsome man. Madam, why stand up for beauty? Beauty is a thing which will decay; In the morning like the red rose, Arterboon will fade away, Arternoon wili fade away. This, I think, sufficiently illustrates the poetic resources of Mr. Flounder; but you want the tones of his voice, the expression of the ‘ace, and that action in concert of the body and mind, which combine to convince the listener that this African “hath music in hie soul.’? In so far as 1 have touched upon them at all,! have given only the good traits of these negroes. It is no harm to say that they have bad traits. The man Jack (i. ¢. John Tyler) is not above siealing chickens aud drinking y. is an expert in all games, but is great, he telis you, “only in seven-up.”” He is up in dancing, and when I tell you that these negroes are light upon the heel and toc—from old Frank to Casar—it means some- thing to say he is up in dancing. And he is the devil among the ladies of color, But in this characteristi however, he is not above old Ben, or two or three of b companions. Let it not be inferred that these color men spend ail their hours in frivolous dancing aud xing ing. Indeed, 1 have seen them listen with attention while one of their number expowuded some coraplicated question, and I have heard them, in general debate, with interest and instruction. ‘They often remind me of the committee room of ome of your assemblies of lawgivers ‘Vhere is this to be said in their favor, that they never fling throw bottles, or enter upon questions of Of their situation. the war a with an order directing git return to thet owners @ large per centage of them will commit Suicide.

Negroes Escaped from Suffolk—Dissatisfaction of Rebel Sol dicrs—Sa Twenty-five Dollars per Bag—Strong Union Feeling in Norfolk—Description of Batteries om Nanse- mond Creek—Flag of Truce from Yorktown—Good Time all Around— More Negroes Arrived, de. , de. The party of negroes who escaped yesterday from the other side of the river, and were taken up by the frigate” Congress, belonged to Captain Nathaniel Pruden, of Suf folk. On Monday evening, at nine o’clock, they stole a ‘oat and pulled down Nansemond creek for about a mile, when they had to stop apa bail the boat with their hate, ad it'was half full of water. The wether was extremely cold, the wind terribly piercing and the tide unusually strong. For twelve consecutive hours they had to pul) without rest or food, and they were in « continual state of fear of being detected by tho rebel batteries. At nine yesterday morning they came to the Congress, where they were kindly received and fed, and in the afternoon sent ashore. They state that the force at Suffolk consists of one North Carolina regiment, one thousand strong: under command of Colonel Grecks, Neither officers nor men bave any uniforms. The latter, except in a few instances, are wi:hout stockings or shoes. It 1s the same old story over and over again of dissatisfaction and in- temperance. The high promises held out to them when they enlisted remain unfulfilicd; for the last four months they have received no pay, and no furloughs are grant- ed, because the authorities are afraid that the liers will prefer to stay at home altogether. Salt was selling last week at twenty-five dollars per bag, and in conse- quence of its scarcity the farmers have to waste all their corn to keep their pigs alive; of course, under the pres- ent circumstances, it does not pay to killand salt the pork. At Suffolk the secession feeling seems to be pretty unanimous; but at Norfolk, it is commonly reported, the Union party begins to gather courage, and the number is now so great that the military authorities say ‘‘that they can’t do anything with them.” The nogroes are treated with unusual severity, and the most ridiculous stories are told them to prevent their Tunning away. The favorite version is, that when they come up among the Yankees the old and disabled negroes are shot, ped pa. ones are harnessed to gun carriages, like oxen, and when the war is over they will be carried {ito @ place called Cuby,”’ to be sold in exchange for cotlee and sugar. Notwithstanding all newspaper protestations to the contrary, every one at Suffolk believes that the — at Charleston was caused by colored incen- ries. The batteries on Naneemond creek are as follows:—On the east side, Tom Point battery, with five guns and one hundred men, and Pig Poiut battery (where the creek joins James river), twelve guns and & Fegiment of eight uundred men; on the west side, Cedar Point battery, with four guns and forty-two men, commanded by Captain Jas- per Phillips, and Blenkhorn battery, with six guns and cc men. At all the batteries the men are quartered io is. ‘esterday afternoon a flag of truce was met by Lien- tenant Harding, of the Seventh regiment New York Vol- unteers, about two miles from our cutside pickets. As he very properly suspected that the main design was to what we were doing, he ordered them to halt, aud ported the fact to Gen. Mansfield. The General rent bis Assistant Adjutant General, Captain Clarence H. Dy to ask the enemy's pleasure; tl tain went out company with Surgeon Howe, of the First New York Vo- inteers, and Surgeon McLean, of the Second. They found rebel party to consist of Major Yerbie, of the Eighth Alabama regiment, and Lieutenant Taylor and two pri- yates, of the Third Virginia regiment. The Major said hat he had come iu for the purpose of handing over a re- ceipt for some money gent South for a soldier of the Twentieth regiment New York Volunteers, who was taken prisoner some time ago. Whether this was the true reason of the party’s coming down or not, they did not fee much, and we will take good care to keep all such ties at a oe Major Yerbie scomed to man Of re! it and intelligence, and the meeting was, in one sense, quite an agreeable one. The Major’s saddie holsters were well supplied, not with revolvers but with some good fizod jugs of genuine old rye, and a the half the meeting lasted he would fro- quently revert to the old anecdote of ‘what the Governor of North Carolina raid to the Governor of South Carolina.” It is proper to state that on our side the compliments were paid in genuine hock and prime ‘‘Havanas.”” We have just this moment (one o'clock P. M.) had an- other arrival of runaway negroes, this time from quite & different direction—Williamsburg. two men, William Murray and John Tadd, belonging to Baker Winn, of Williamsburg, have both been in jail for many months, William for swiking a white man who attempted to take liberties with his wife, and John for trying to rup away. The poor fellows have been three days on the way, and have suffered much from cold and wet. In order to pass by the piekets they had to keep in the woods, and were sometimes obliged to wade through swamps, with the water up to their waists. THE POTOMAC FLOTILLA. OUR NAVAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Our road, a straight and admirable one, frozen quite hard, lay through some fields, with oc- casionally patches of forest. But though the river and creeks abounded with water fowl, we saw no traces of game during our walk of about three-quarters of a mile, save a few field larks, one of which the captain shot. On reaching the Colonel's residence we found the Colo about to enter his sleigh for a ride to Mr. Col, for there was sufficient bard, frozen snow on the ground for the runners to glide smoothly over. He de- layed tho journey, however, to receive his intended host aud ourselves, which ho did with frank hospitality, and soon we were before his genial fire, listening to the old gentleman’s praises of the glorious Union, accompanied with some not very complimentary allusions to the re which beis.

Before this we should have had at least ten thousand emigrants from the States, but have to content ourselves with less than two thousand. Many of these are registered from the Southern Stulca, and they bring with them a knowledge of rice and cotton culture. The latter, under the guidance of the British Cotton & Association, is destined to exert a powerful influence « the country. We believe that your civil war is planting the ceeds of the eventual total extinction of slavery, and, behoving this, we know that, under proper guidance, tho emigration to these shores must become enormous before the lapre of many years. For this purpose a wise gov- ernment and faithful, energetic foreign agents should devote their greatest energies. So far, this has manifest ly tot beeu the case, Up to this time we have had too many mechanics and small shopkeepers.

From the bleak and barren hills of the frozen North the frrepres- sible Yankee has turned his longing eyes to the foriile slopes of the sunny South, whence ail iis blessings flow ed. While streams of we:!th from a land of plenty have meandered at his feet, he has siched as though hie strong heart would break for the possession of the inexhiusti- ble fountains of all his soul holds dear. And now the vast and magnificent conceptions of Jonathan's brain have assume! form ond shape, aud his de-tre to exercise dominion in the South, over things real and things per- sonal, hes culminated in a grand invasion and @ gigantic war, the morality of the proyosition oc- casions no uncasiness to his India rubber comscience. Indeed, he acts upon purely logical principles, inherited from his great ancestors, of Puritavical and blessed, memory. “The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; He hath given it to His ssinte; we are His sainis."? And Jonathan can quote precedents from re- motest authority in ample jurtification of his beneficent of self-appropristton.
