THE CABINET WAR OF SUCCESSION. THE CONSERVATIVE DANIFESTO. Revolutionary Schemes of the Ultra Abolitionists. Apeech of Hon.

The reason is plain. There are in these Stater no local functionaries bound by constitutional oatbe—#o that there are, in fact, no constitutional faunc- tionaries—and since tho State government {s necesearily composed of such functionaries, there can be no State govertments,” ‘This is summary reasoning: but it begins by an assumption that there are no other States but rebel States, outting out of the question the oxiatence of the States de jure, which have subsisted from the foundation of the government to this hour, and the existence of which the United States are bound to guaranty and maintain, and is at this moment fighting the bloodiest battles known to modern annals, to support against the most excuscless treason aiid shame lese counterfeit authority that ever put on the mask of overnment.

Missouri, whose Governor. Legislature and judicial off- cers betrayed her, expelled her faithJess representatives: with the aid of the federal government, and filled their places with loyal men, abolishing slavery as an earnest of her abhorrence of the means and the ends for which the conspirators against the Union labored. Kentucky, temporarily paralyzed by the treachery of her Governor, was soon put right by the people whon furnished with arms by the government. carried to them by the lament- ed and gallant Nolson. In Maryland the attempt to turn her over to the rebels was crushed by the arrest of trea sovable islators. Virginia was overwhelmed for a time; but Western Virginia, being delivered from the armed brigands, called a convention, elected a legislature for the whole State (the greater part of {t being still held by the rebels), was Izod as the law making power of the whole fe, af such divided the State aud set up a new State in the West. This exempiitios the President’s mode of saving the Union, He eaves the States, putting the powers of the government ns soon as they ate redeemed, into the hands of loyal men, and then the State resumes ite place in the connetis of the nation with all its attributes and rights. He has signified bis purpose of inviting Tennessee and Lonistana—now tn preparation—tofollow these examples , and every other. State as soon as it can be rescued from the rebel armies, will be aided to cowe in and rein- tecrate the grand family of republics. Now, what is the pretext for abandoving this save and healing policy of the President? So far it bas worked well, and secured the approbatiou of all well wishers of the country. the abolition programme shows somewhat of the motive for converting States into Territories and carry tbem back into colonial bondage, io take taw from greae without representation.

Tne San Jacinto gave chase and gained on the stranger until sun- set, when another cloud of black smoke was seen ina northeasterly direction. This wae also soon discovered to be from another steamer.

A boat was lowered from the San Jacinto for the purpose of following and capturing him. But before the boat could reach the Alabama a little tug boat had been sent across from Sbip Island, be- ing faster than the San Jacinto’s boat, came up with the prize, which tnrned out to be the Alabama (not the pirate ve-sei of that name, buta blockade runuer). The capture was made in sight of the Sun Jacinto, to the great disgust, no doubt, of her officers and crew, However, the prize money accruing will be shared in proportion between the San Jacinto and thé officers and crew of the tug: and as th the best prize yet captured on this station, thesan Jucinto will receive a pretty good value for their wounded feolings. ‘The cargo of the Aiabama is estimated at about 2,000, and among their things is a large assortment of medicines. The prize has been sent to New Orleans for arjndication. About four o'clock the same afternoon, the 12th iust., before the Alabama was run ashore, the other boat that bat been seen on the previous day was deecried standing ih towards Mississippi Sound, upon which the course of the Sau Jacinto was shaped, soas to get both vessels in chase.

To-day's bank statement compares as follows with that of last Monday:—- Be ons soos, tee OSIT.H86 186,000,1r8 aa ete Soioa'oie 6°37H 686 182,605 404 — cee Luigeoed 2,200 8,497,279 This is another statement from which but little information ean be derived. Last week the state- ment showed a large decrease of loans aad a large increase of deposi Thia week the snomaly is corrected—the loans are up and the deposits down, It is of course obvious that, under the operation of the new public loan, both Joaus and deposits will naturally increase together and de- crease together. The banks, it seems, have not yet taken advantage of the recent decision of the Court of Appeals to increase their circulation. The small increase of specie would go to show that the banks did not, as is supposed, receive the bulk of the gold disbursed by government for in- terest last week, but that moat of it went into the hands of the public, and will probably come into the street for sale..g The increase of speculation on the Stock Ex- change this morning led to rather more inquiry for money, and at two P.M. it was aot difficult to place money @t 6 per cent. Some brokers paid 7 for large amounts in order to save time and trouble. AS a general rule, in very active times, most brokers would rather pay a full market rate for money than spend an hour in icying to get loans at % or L per cent less. There is no change in debt certiticutes or mercantile paper. Gold jumped up from 143 this morning to 145, closing this afternoon at that price. Mxchenge waa 158 a 158%. No special cause for the ad vance was generally assigned, though the seces- sionist sympathizers had a number of stories of disaster, as usual. We hear of arrangements being made which may exercise a powerful effect iu keep ing down the price of gold: and if, as is intimat- ed in well informed quarters, Rosecrans is prepar- ing lo renew the advance with every prospect of stecess, a sudden decline would not seem nalikely. At the Treasury Department the advance above 140 ia regarded as unwarranted and not expected to hold. ‘The stock market was active and broyaut this morning. The*public were free buyers of stocks, and there was considerable confidence expressed in the market, more so than for some time paat. People appear to haye got over the tright caused by the late panic; several weeks have elapsed since then, and new meu have entered the field with a3 much courage and perhaps ox mach money as their predecessors, At the morning board to- day Pacific’ Mail rose 5 per cent, New York Cen- tral 4 ie 4, Erie preferred '{, Mydson River 2, Reading %, Michigen Southern 1, [inois Central 14, Pittsburg 12%, Galena 1%, Toledo 24, Prairie du Chien 2, Fort Wayne 144, Terre Haute 244, Chicago and Alton 4, Alton preferred 2, Marietta and Cincinnati 1st preferred 2, 2d preterr Cum- berland 2,Canton 144. There is a growing dis- position among operators to handle the low- priced stocks, partly because they are more easily carried than higher priced securities, and partly because paper mouey is caleulated to in- crease the gies value of every enterprise in the country, and thas vesteeate properties which ha¥e fallen to low figares, ‘Thus it is said, on fair authority, that if the business of the Canton Com- pany remains as good as it las been during the past three months, a statement will be made in which the stock will be shown to be worth par. Cumberland also looked very strong to-day. Old Southern was extremely mercurial. At one time this morning it could hardly be booght at 9194, and again, in an hour, it was offered at 89. The pre- sent ball party in this stock seem to know what they are about, and are notin favor of any sudden advance. Cleveland and Pittsburg was very suoug to-day, the buyers being generally willing to tke the stock on sellere’ option.
