Lieut. Ransom had an officer on the State House, which overlooked the adjacent country, and could direct the lire of every shell. As soon as the enemy were repulsed Commander Por- ter, with the gunboats, went up the stream a(ter the ram Arkansas, which was lying about. five miles above, apparently afraid to take her share in the eouflict. According to the preconcerted pmn, ag he came within gunshot he opened on her and probably soon disabled some of ber machinery or steering apparatus, for she be- came unmanageable, continuing, however, to fire ber guns at the Essex. Commander Portef cays he took advantage of her pre- senting a weak point towards him and loaded with in- cendiary shells. After Lis first discharge of this pro- jectile a gush of fire came out of her side, and from that ‘moment it was discovered that she was on fire, whith he continued his exertions to prevent being extinguished. They backed her ashore and made a line fast, which soon burnt, and she swung off into the river, where she continued to burn until she blew up with a tremendous explosion, thus ending tho career of the lagt tron-clad ram of the Mississippi. ‘There were many persons on the banks of the river witnessing the fight, in which they anticipated a tri umph for “Secessia;” but on the return of the Essex, not ‘@ soul was to be seen, T will leaye a sufficient foree of gunboats here to sup- port the army, and will return to-morrow to Now Orle: and depart immediately for Ship Island with a light he: leavingno bogbear to torment the communities of the Mississippi in my absence, Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

The enthusiasm for Garibaldi was tremendous, and 1 was reported that he would goon be at the head of fifty. thousand men. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Daily News asserts positively that Garibald: has refused to obey Victor Emanuel’s proclamation. ‘The rumors that the English fleet was ordered to join the French squadron in interference with Garibaldi proved false. A letter from Palermo says the enthusiasm for. Garl. Daldi Is so great that young men disappearing en tirely from the place, and if other cities in Sicily imitate Palormo Garibaldi must soon be at the head of 50,000 volunteers. ‘ La France enys Garibaldi held @ council of) war at Cef- fala on the 4th inst., at which it was decided to march on Rome, notwithstanding the remonstravee from Turin: ‘The volunteers numbered eix thousand. Garibaldi had chartered six large vezeels. His plan is €afd to be to land fa the Gulf of Palermo, there to be joined by an auxiiary force, and march on the Roman’states, + The Official Turin Gazette says Garibaldian volunteors would Icaye for Messina instead of Patermo, They num ber 3,000, and are divided into three columus, one con- ducted by Garibaldi in person. In the Chamber of Deputies, on tho Sth of August, Sf- Ratazzi eaid there was a runor, bot officially euntirmed, thit an encounter had taken place between the troops anda band of Gariluldians, and the troops lost ifty muskets.

It is true that last month the entries of foreign merchandise, the withdrawals from warehouse and the receipts of duties were all heavy. But this is due to the fact that the new tariff went into effect on the Ist of August. The remaining months of the year will, in all probability, show a steady decrease in our imports of foreign goods as compared with the corresponding months of former years. It will be remarked that the exports for July exceeded the imports by over $3,000,000. In June the excess of exports over imports was $8,000,000; so that the foreign trade of these two months gave a bie lance of $11,000,000 in onr favor wherewith to pay for the American securities sent here for sale. At this time last year the banks had just com- pleted their first negotiation with the Secretary of the Treasury, and agreed to take $50,000,000 of 7.30 notes. Public feeling was generally very cheerful in conseqnence. Money was worth 4 a 6 per cent on call. Exchange on London was quoted 107 per cent. Stocks wore generally mach lower than they are now; the public were only just beginning to recover from the depression cansed by the defeat of Bull run, and Southern State stocks were depressed by the intelligence of their confiscation by most of the Southern Legislatures, The following are the trade tables for the seven ve elapsed of the current calendar | year, July being the first month of the fiscal year 1862 Imports. 1860, 1961, 1802. gaimnary 158, 26,827,411 + 19,856,589 16,341.07 680,126 18.204 351 16,971.368 14.86.4908 16.893.151 14,049,251 19.160.021 12,649 733 24,951,649 14,958,851 ‘Total seven mo’s.§142,509,067 118,798,717 106,408,686 202 | and landed at Piermont, up the Hudson 42.068, 477 do or of 10,277.926 10,236 820 10,550,007 aa 5b Total soven mno's. $28,073,831 » Whe following is a ecidlbe sthtenlen or" X- ports from the port of New York to foreigu ports for the week ending August 19, 1862:— 1360. ie 1,145 AL 1,600,819 airy jon Saabs sosinast 88, HASTINGS 0,082,785 ‘The aggregate falls short of that of last week, Lut is stil] awery respeotable.oxhibit, considerably in excess of the exports of the narrbapandiog week last year’and the year défore.

Tt is certain that unless some disposition has been made of the net earnings of the company in a direction wholly unexpected by the publics there is a dividend on the preferred shares in Jana- ary, anda large working capltal besides. Tt has been lately suid tn the street that the current year has been an exceptional one, and not to be de- pended upon in estimafing the permanent value of the shares, Referring to the company's records, we find that its earnings for the past nine years. were as follows:— 1854, fiscal year to September 80... 1865, fiscal year to September 30, , 1826 fiseal year to September 3). 1857, current year January to December, 1858, curront year January to December, 1859, current year January to December, 1860, current year January to December, 1861, carrent year January to December. 1862, curreut year partly estimate, Nine years.... Average yearly 5,712,708. But, indeed, no one ais examines the subject can doubt but the Erie will earn, in 1863, dividende upon all its stock, Its sources of income are, and will be hereafter, very different from what they have been in the past. In the first place, its long dock renders it the most direct grain road between the West and the ocean, and enables it to effect a substantial saving in working expenses, Next, it has just made @n arrangement for a coal trade from the Pennsylvania coal region which will give it a net profit of $200,000 a year, Finally, the At. lantic and Great Western extension is steadily pro- wrossing westward, and will shortly throw upon the Erie a large Western traffic, which now finds its way over the Lake Shore and other northern routes, It is probably safe to estimate the business for 1963 as follows:— Net Net income... . s+... Deduct— Intereat on $20,000 000 debt... Dividends on $19,000,000 stock, Surplus over a@ll......... ++ $170,008 The chances are, in the opinion of railroad men, that the Erie income will rather exceed than full ‘ short of this, It must be remembered that the | Erie Railway of 1863 will be a very different offair \ 1 from the old Erie Railroad which ran from Dunkirts Ite fue | ture course is practically from New York city ta
