OUR SOLDIERS’ WORK. WHAT OUR IMPROVISED ARMY CAN DO. Interesting Report of General Viele, Now Military Governor of Norfolk, Rev Rev Re. Heapquarrers Umitrp States Forces, SavaNNau RIVER, April 11, 1862, ‘Sik—1 have the honor to submit the following report of ‘the operations of the troops under my command in con- ection with the investment and reduction of Fort Pulaski. ‘The plan of operations assigned to me comprised the erection of batteries on the Savannah river, to cut off communication between the fort and the eity of Savannah, from which supplies, ammunition and men wore drawn) and to establish batteries on tho islands adjacent to the fort, against the gorge and left flank, with which, in con- function with the batteries on Tybee Island, the fort could ‘de reduced. ‘The expedition for these purposes was fitted out at Port Royal, and consisted of a detach- ment of the Third Rhode Island artillery, a detachment of the Volunteer Engincers, a battalion of the Eighth Maine regiment Volunteers, the Sixth regiment Connecticut Volunteers, the Forty-cighth New ‘York Volunteers and a full supply of heavy ordnance and {ntrenching tools. A full reconnoissance and report had previously been made by Lieutenant J. H. Wilson, Topographical Engi- neers, of the water communications with the Savannah river, by which it was developed that the rebels had sunk the hulk of a brig, securely fixed in its position by means of heavy piles, in what is known as “Wall’s Cut,”’ af artificial channel connecting Wright river (one of the outlets of the Savannah) with Bull river, which dast, by its connection, forms a direct communication with the harbor of Port Royal, thus serving asa tho- roughfare between that harbor and Savannah. ‘The removal of the hulk was the first thing to be ac- complished, and was entrusted to Major O.T. Beard, Forty-eighth New York Volunteers, who, with the aid of a company of the Volunteer Engineers, and by means of mechanical appliances suggested by his own ingenuity, succeeded, after seven days of unremitting night labor, and in close proximity to the webel forces, in removing the piles and hulk from the ‘channel, soas to admit of the passage of gunboats and light draft steamers. This being accomplished, the expedition proceeded to tho north end of Dawfuskie Island, at which pointa ‘camp and depot were established for operations in the Savannah. Reconnoissances for suitable locations for the Datteries were then made, under the superintendence of Captain and Acting Brigadier General Gillmore, during which the telegraphic communication between Fort Pu- Jaski and Savannah was cut, and the wires, both land and oul for the of about one mile. Venus Point, on Jones Island, Un the north side of the Savannah,and the upper end of) ‘Island, in the Savan- mah river, were recommended as the most feasible posi- ‘tions to be occupied ‘These islands, ag well as all others in tho river, are mercly deposits of mud on sand shoais, always eovered at high tide and overgrown with dank grasses. ‘The occupation of points so unfavorable for the erec- tion of batteries was rendered still more difficult by the Presenee in the Savannah of a fleet of rebel gunboats, constantly F roving dn and always on the alert. To have the ordnance in the flatboats in which dt bad been placed into the Savannah river would have exposed it to capture by the gunboats; to move it over the swamps seemed almost impossible, while at the samo time it would be constantly exposed to view from the river. The alternative was adopted of moving the arma- ment of one battery by hand at night, on shilting tram- ‘ways across Jones Island, it was ‘accomplished on she night of the llth of February. A drenching storm added to the difficulties, the men often sinking to their waists in the marsh, and the guns sometimes g from the tramways. By morning the guns were 4m position on the river, and the next day resisted, with unfinished and without cover, an ‘attack’ from the rebel gunboats, disabling them and driving thom off. Three days after ‘another Dattery was erected on Bird Island, in the Savannah, under cover of the battery on — ‘sland. Bird Island was ipa ae in preference to upper end of as aifording a more uninter- rupted cermannti ot the Hoot channel ofthe river. Since ‘the erection of the batteries the works have beon com- _Pleted on both islands—the one on Jones Island being ‘called Fort Vulcan, and that on Bird Island, Battery Hamilton; and although the material of which they are composed (mud highly saturated with water) is of the most unfav eae description, they aro both most creditable specimens of field works, and evidence of the great labor and perse ‘verance of ihe troops under most trying circumstances— the fatigue pacties always standing iu water twenty-four hours. The positions selected for batteries to aid in the reduction of the fort were the lower end of Long Isiand ‘and the south side of Turtle Island. As these two points were directly under the fire of the fort, it was deemed advisable to delay the erection of the Datteries until those on ‘ly bee Jeland were ready to open. Hence it was not until the night before the bombardment commenced that they were thrown up. The intrench- ments were completed; but before the guns were all in position the fort surrendered unconditionally. The mortar battery on Long Island did good execution. Jn reporting the résults accomplished, I have, to refer to the servio® rendered by the staff of General Sherman, without whom the work could not have been performed. ‘These otncers were Cajtain and Acting Brigadier General Gillmore, Chief Engineer; ores John Hamilton, Chief of Artillery; Lieutenant J. H. Wilson, Topographical En- gineers; Licutenant Porter, Ordnance Corps, and Lieu- tenant O’Rorke, Engineer Corps. Hesitating at no ‘amount of exposure or fatigue, they succeeded by their individual examples in inspiring the men with that energy and zeal which could alone have led them to ac- ‘compiish the arduous labor required. J am also greatly indebted to the services of Captain Sears ,of the Volunteer Engineers, and to Captain J. . Libenau, Assistant Adju- tant General. The accompanying sketch exhibits the bard of the batterios. Very respectfully, your pee cokes L, VIELE, Brighiler Genéral Commanding. Common Pleas—General Term. Before Hon.

The bank depoaits have now risen twenty- five millions in a month—a rise perfectly unprece- dented, and one which explains at once the condi- tion of the stock and money markets. The increase in the loans shows thatthe banks are trying to make these deposits earn something. Most of the ‘banks are probably buying governments. Some of the best managed banks have been doing quite a handsome business in 7.30 notes and bonds of 1881, ‘buying every time they fall, and selling as they tise. In the present condition of the money mar, eket, and with the present prospects of the national forces, the operation is a safe one. For some time to come our banks will find government paper the best thing to deal in. Money is offered everywhere at 4 por vom, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 20, 1862.—-TRIPLE SHEET. though a few bankers continue to get 5 from their customers. Brokers will often give one per cent more for loans which are not likely to be disturbed with every fluctuation of the market. The with- drawal from the market by the Sub-Treasury of $8,500,000 of legal tender currency has checked the applications for conversion. Still, however, the Sub-Treasurer received to-day $165,000 to be con- verted into 5.20 bonds. Certificates of indebted. ness sell from 997% to 1004. Foreign exchange opens dull for the steamer. Bankers ask 113% a 114; but at these rates there is little demand. Gold is stronger, selling at 10334 ay The stock market opened this morning with a heavy tone, and it looked ag though prices were gowing to be lower. The operators op the bear side made the most of the repulse of our gunboats in the James river, and by the newspaper stories about foreign interyention. As the day advanced, however, fresh orders came ih, and by the after- noon the market was quite strong again, at better prices. The feature of the transactions was the extraordinary demand for all first class bonds. The New York Central sevens are at 107, Erie firsts 107, Hudson firsts 108, Harlem firs‘, 103, Michigan Central 8’s 106, Michigan Southern firsts 9924, sinking funds 97%, Rock Island firsts 104, Galena firsts 104, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy 105, Terre Haute and Alton 108%, &c., &¢. All these bonds are being gradually absorbed by capitalists, who consider them the safest and most profitable investment they can get. Governments were %{ lower at the close te-day. Pacific Mail dropped to.114% at the first board to-day, but afterward rallied to 116 bid. The Erie shares and most of the Western shares closed 4 a 4 lower than on Saturday.. The-market is seldom rampant on more than one class of securities at a time: to-day railway bonds were the rage. When the market has been cleared of these, investors will pay more attention to railway shares. At the close the market was quoted firm, the follow- ing being the closing quotations:—United States 6's, registered, 1881, 103% a 10374; do. 6’s, cou- pon, 1881, 10334 a 104; do. 5’s, 1874, 93% @ 94; Indiana 5’s, — a 85; Tennessee 67s, 585% a 58%; Vir- ginia 6’s, 69 a 5924; North Carolina 6’s, 7244 a 73%; Missouri 6’s, 52 a 5224; Pacific Mail, 1160 a 116%, ex div.; New York Central, 89 a 8934; Erie, 39% a 395%; do. preferred, 66% & 66%; Hudson River, 43 a 4314; Harlem, 14 a 14}; do. preferred, 35% a 86; Reading, 49 a 4914; Michigan Central, 61614; Michigan Southern and Northern Indi- ana, 26% a 2624; do. guaranteed, 574 a 5794; Pana- ma, 133 a 135; Illinois Central, 62 a 62%4; Galena and Chicago, 713 a 72; Cleveland and Toledo, 46% a 4654; Chicago and Rock Island, 643% a 6454; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, 70 a 70%; Mil- waukee and Prairie du Chien, 29% a 30; Cleve- land, Columbus and Cincinnati, 116% 0117; New York Central 7’s, 1876, 107% a 1084; Erie third mortgage bonds, 9634 a 99; Michigan Central 8a, first. mortgage, 105% a 106; Illinois Central 7’e, 983% a 95; gold, 10324 a 10334.

He also pro- poses an excise duty on beer, spirits and rectifled spirits, which he estimates will produce $786, Tobacco is tocontribute tw the treasury to the amount of $62, from an excise duty and a license fee from manufacturers, Mr. Galt also proposes to ask an in- crease on the duty on teas, sugars, molasses and to- bacco, which he expects to bring dim $1,803,572. A small stamp duty spr: ‘ho Financo Minister also asks for a repeal of that clause of the bauk charter which requires a deposit of ten per cent on government securities, from which he contemplates obtaining a re- venue of $36,000. Articles paying an import customs duty of twenty percent are to be placed on the fifteen per cent list, those paying ten on the seven and a half, and the articles paying thirty-five per cent are also to be reducet. Mr. Galt says the reductions in the tariff are equal to the new taxes to be imposed. The following circular is from the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company :— To BoxpHoLpErs. The almost unexpected degree of favor with which our isue of sinking fund mortgage bonds has been re- ceived induces us to cali the attention of bondholders to the advant: afforded by the arrangement for con- verling the various issues of bouds into one class, under one comprehensive mortgage. In 1855 &n. issue of three and a half millions, in one shoteatdl dollar bonds, payable at the Corn ‘Exchange Bank, New York, bearing interest at 7 per cent, payabie semi-annually at the same place, was made under a oon morigage of tho eatire property of the company, a sink. ing fuud of 1 per cent being pledged for their Tedemp- tion in 1855. None of these bonds have been sold, they betng designed exclusively for the conversion of the various classes into one class of mortgage bonds. Ex- changes are continually going on, and so great is now the Fv ocrg cette long first mortgage bond, with ubout twenty years to run, that these ms ‘are now selling in market for over $2 cents on the dollar, and few oflvring at that price, with afalr prospect of their reachil oady we have ase ae about their issue, in $175,000 of quidation of is that before any ver; debt matures we shall for the principal part of our entire bonded “iad to lesued fi change the banking 00" No. 44 Wall street, New York, cone office in Cleveland, when the old is are present sums of $1,000. ‘The registry is at Cleveland, may be sent to Clevelan notre y express; -f by Unload Siages expects At the expeuse of the « H.
