The closing prices showed the fullowing deductions from those of yesterday’s second board. Erie advanced ; New York Central, %; Hudson River, 365 Reading, %; Rock Island, 3%; Fort Wayne, 4. Michi- fouthern declined 4% ; Illinois Central, 3g; Cleveland Pittsburg, 4; Cumberland, 3%. Michigan Ceniral was steady. Government securities were strong. Coupon five-twenties of the new issue advanced 3; ten-furties, 36. Tho demand for the latter has bedn so active during the last week that they have advanced 1% per cent s nce the 2d inst. They are, however, still below the govern- ment price, allowing for the accrued interest, ‘At the open board, at one o’clock, the market was a shade stronger. New York Central was $¢ higher than at the first board; Erie 34; Illinois Central 14; Cleveland and Pittsburg . Michigan Southern was 3¢ lower; Rock Island . "ue Cumberland Coal clique ts bolsterng up the stock, and still representing that there is a large sur- plus to the credit of the company after providing for the sinking fund and building a number of new boats; but there isno authentic evidence upon which to base those statement, and as both the bull and bear cliques in the speculation are equally unscrupulous in their state- ments, and equally desirous of getting the best of each other in the contest, ft is a question of financial strength as to which ga‘ns, and therefore very hard lying is to be mot with on both sides. i After the cali, prices were lower. Tho gold market hs beon depressed by the repo capture of Branchville, sixty-two miles from Charleston, at tho junction of the South Carolina and Columbia Branch railroads, and the evacuation of Charl’ston. The very light demand for specie on legitimate account, as- sists the natura! tendency of the market; but as artificial ‘causes, such as the condition of the national finances and the short interest, exert a strong influence upon the pre- mium, it is Hable to sharp reactions after each period of depression, The quotations varied as follows:— Money is becoming more easy at seven per cent, and exceptional transactions occur, with governments as col- laterais, at six. In the discount line the rate vares ac- cording to the preferences of lenders, from 8 to 12 per cent, and as the amount of unomployed capital is con- siderable, owing to the limited demand from the Sto-k Exchange and the large amount of currency in circula- tion, lenders are in some cases disposed to go below the regular market. a Foreign exchango is weak, oven the best bills being unmarketable in large amounts, unless at a considerable abatement from the nominal rates, and sales have been forced at a sacrifice In some cases, The reduction of the Bank of England rate of discount from five 2a » pait Solve reg cont, fidicating, as it does, great temporary case in monetary, affairs, favors continued depress'on. ‘The influx of cotton from the South and the exports go ing forward are particularly potent in their influence and @annot be resisted. Not only is it finding its way to this port direct, but to tho Western cities. Ths, ‘Oh the sth instant, the telegraph informs us six hundred and ninety-three bales arrived at St. Louis, Bankers’ storling is quoted at 103% @ 109% at sixty days, and 109%{ a 110% at threo days. Merchants} bills are offered at 107% a108%{. The shipment of spocio to-day amounted to $107,420, of which the steamer America took $95,000, and the City of Cork $12,420, ‘The subject of Mr. Julian’s bill now before Congress, pro: ‘viding for tho subdivision and sale of gold and silver lands, and for the coinage of the products of the same, and for other purposes, is entitled to attention, That the miners and mining companies established on United States terri- ‘tory should bo amenable to direct taxation is indisputa- Sic. “Taxation will be more productive and equitable than sales, for the reason thas all would be willing to bear taxation on the product of their labor, while few without soertainty in view would be willing to make s purchase of undeveloped laud unless a a nomiual price, at which it is not to the interest of the government to sell. There are many mining companies, reprosenied in this city and elsewhere, who are paying large dividends on thoir stock, but nothing in the way of a direct tax on their yleld of metal to the governinent, and these should be promptly called upon to bear their share of the public burden. We therefore direct the attention of Congress to tho subjoct of taxing all parties working upon the mine- ral lands of tho United States. This may be done in the form of a license to work, or upon the gross product, or both, at tho option of the government. Wo have not read Mr. Jullan’s bill, but from his re- marks in Congroes wo infer that he places » wrong esti- mate upon tho measure he proposes, and that he has mado the mistake of relying upon sales instead of taxation. It is true that the gold bearing region of the United States covers more than a millon of square miles, but neither by taxation nor by sale could we get as much speclo revenue as he would appear to supp 60, It is true also that we might levy a specie tax, and that would be the proper one under the circum. stances, on the product of these mineral lands; but that would be of very little material asststanc> in assisting the resumption of specie payments. There is gold and silver enowgh in tho country, hoarded and in the banks ‘and public Treasury, on which to do this, without any dependance whatever on the mineral lands of the coun try; but this is a critical period in our history, when the thews and sinews of the nation arg tasked to provide the means of fulfilling its obligations, which at the best, aro far in excess of its receipts, and, therefore, every element of industry should be made to contribute to the genoral welfare. Thore is moro gold hearted in the country than is gon. erally believed, and in addition to this there isa large smount hold in Eurepe on Amorican account; and the work of resuming specio payments could be easily resumed if the policy of the administration only favored such a change, But, unfortunately the course of the Treasury and Congress, thas far, has favored tho opposite theory, and we are promised indefi nite inflation and ultimate collapse in the future unicss radical reforms in our financial policy are instituted, Is ts vain for Mr. Foswnden to say that no further issues of currency will bo made. Ho 4 not prophetic, or he would bo reticent on the point He has not studied Qnance, or ho would have proposed new and very differout measures to what he has done Ho» is unacquainted with political economy, er he would have pursued a widely different course, But his successor will probably follow in his own foot. steps, and his appoiutmont will be dependent upon bis Willingness to persevere in the course thus fur puraaed A cortain Senator from this State has been mentioned as ‘® candidate for tho office, but he ie totally unit for it, ‘The country requires a statesinan, @ financier and aman Of cultivation at the head of the Treasury; and where are we to look fora prominent man combining the re. @isites for the position? A mere morchaat will wot do, and « politician like Mr. Chase or Mr. Fessenden will only hasten our ruin. ‘The vast and iminediate importance of the finances of this country is neither fully undorstood nor properly ap- Preciated ax yet; but (t cannot fail to force itself upon the popular conviction before long. The true remecly for the fiscal ovils under which we groan is the resumption of specie payments on the basis of the present deprociation of the currency. The paper dollar is now worth a Httle More than forty-seven conts, and aa this te the virtdal foundation of our monetary system, we might as well @rrost the evil by making it the nominal one also. This ‘would of necessity involve the practical repudiation of the logal tender act; but, ax this was a grand mistake tn the Grat instance, there will be nothing to regret. Meanwhile, if the present ovil system ts to b» porne- ‘vored in, heavy taxation must be the order of the day. ‘Tho Treasury recelpis are ymproving, if we may judge by the January receipts, which amounted to $30,178,529; Dot, in ordor to sustain this average, much heavier taxa tion will have to be rosortod to, and to meet an outlay of More than three millions per day, consistently with oar Bational welfare, our receipts from internal revenue will Tequire to bo doubled.

The question naturally arises, what ts there te pay an interest on this enormous investment? We have no reliable statistics of the nomber of wells which are now yielding oll, but we think it would be a large allowance to put them down at two hundred and Afty, although it is stated that there are five thousand productive and unproductive wells in the Pennsylvania oil region alone, The interest on the above amount of cap'tal 1s nearly twenty-five millions annually, to meet which each well must produce twelve thousand barrels of oil # year; while it is well known that half of the wells do not yield five hundred barrejs each im twelve months, and that many of them will hardly pay working expenses. There is one other point te which we would draw the attention of tho public, and that is the decrease in the number of basrels of oil sent to Philadelphia in 1864 as comppred with 1863, According to the statistics the re- ceipts were as follow: We have nothing to add to the above figures further than to request all those who have the oil fever in its in- nish, glu, wood screws, umbrellas, parasols, gold’ foil, soap, preserved plckles, photograpli, repairs of engined hulls of vossels, State Duildings, store furniture, pig an other kinds of iron, rivets, steel, steam engines, copper, skins, leather, wines und liquors, furs, clothes, ready mnade clothing, manufactures of votiun, diamonds and otuer precivus stones, bullion in lump, iugot, bar or otherwise, and other articlos, 11.

A very interesting case of counterfeiting came up before Justice Dodge yesterday afternoan, at the Jot son Market Police Court. It appears that for some time past John Camp, otherwise known as John A. Camper, Frenobman, has resided in Fifty-fourth street, near Ninth avenue, Camp, although # man of extraordinary talent, fluently speaking noarly a dozen different languages, has long been known to the police a8 @ counterfeiter. It ap- poape that nearly two weeks sinco s man known as 625,924 Mathie Wolfert introduced to Camp Mr. Jefferson Stout, '313'000 | living at No. 229 West Twelfth street, when Stout pre- tended to be a sutler in the army, and Camp expressed desire to supply him with such articles as he might need. Ho said he was manufacturing some very fine postal currency, Whics po could poll at twenty dollars per hundred; also that he had just finished some beautiful plates on the Mechanics’ Bank of New Haven; also another plate for manufacturing five dollar bills on the Bank of Northfield, at Northfleld, Vermont. During the conversation Camp told Mr, Stout that he could soll the five dollar bills for three dollars; but sald if he would take five thousand dollars of the tives he would se]l_ them for twelve dollars pir hundred. Stout Trad se etal Interviews. with Camp, and oventvally the agreed lo meet on Friday evening, with the understand. ing thot Stout would then buy one hundred dollars of the fifty cent postal currency, five thousand dollars of the five dollar bills on the Northffeld Bank, and one thousand doliars in tens on the Mechanics’ Bank of New Haven. Camp and Stout were to meet in a porter house near the corner of Fifty-first street and Eighth avenue, where Stout was to receive the counterfeit money and pay oyer what bo bad pts to in exchange. fore the husiness was comploted, however, Stout in- formed United States detective Girvan of the cir- cumstance, whereupon they resolved to go together and meet Camp, but Girvan was to remain in the background till he received @ signal to advance aud arrest the repyged counterfeiter. ‘At the time ap- pointed Camp was promptly at the place of meeting, with is counterfeit Dilla ($6,100), when Girvan, recoiving the signal agreed upon, advanced and arrcsted Camp, in whose possession he found all the spurious money which he honestly supposed Stout was buy of him.

Ifideed, cortain old whal who have changed thels vocation from extracting oil out of hb to Se ft out of the earth, contend that when the Noachian flood subsided, a vast shoal of whatos was stranded somewhere about five or eix hun- dred feet below what i3 now the upper surface of the Pennsylvania oll region. In the course of time soil was supe ited, and the blubber was thus at once closed up, and the ofl cxmrened from it, and preserved in great natural reservoirs for the fyture use of man. Other authorities, with less imagination, and perhaps less biasing prepossessions, maintain that the external surface of the earth where tho oll region is situated once occupled the level of these oil reservoirs and conduits, Winn are found from three to eight hundred feet deep, and wad covered with salt marshes and @ juxuriant marine flora sbubdantly vith salt, Over the accumulation of the remains ancient vego- ‘table world successive layers afd. strata of sand were gradually formed in the course of ages, and ulti- mately became‘hardened into sandstone rock. - The vegetable mass thus hermetically sealed up went through a sort of chemical analysis in this vast natural laboratory, and was resolved into the three component eloments of gas, oll and water.

Richard Morris was born in Philadelphia on the 18th of September, 1782, receiving baptism from the venerable Bishop White, chaplain of the first Congress, and bis name from his uncle and baptismal sponsor, Richard Morris, then Chief Justice of the State of New York, who {m 1792 administered tho inauguration oath to General Washington.

WIGHTMAN. A notice of the decease and funeral appointment of this young man appeared in the proper column of Wednesterday’s Hxnarp; but his memory is worthy of @ more extended notioe. Edward K. Wightman was the son of Stillman K. ‘Wightman, Esq., counsellor at law, of this city. He re- ceived a liberal education, and graduated from the Free Academy im 1854, Being eminontly fitted for literary pursuits, he Lasgo =] pa enya an ed ee nghe the ‘city newspapers, and was ly employed in - rintendence of the Shoe and Leather Reporter. A very important statistical article, prepared by him for that paper, was appropriated and used by the Home Depart- ment of the United States government, and was repub- lished in Great Britain, Germany and France. His com- munications for thé presa evinced an enlargod compasy ‘and depth of thought. ‘When the Ninth regimont Néw York Volunteers (Haw- kins’ Zouaves) was recruited, a year after entering act gorvice, Mr. Wightman offered himself as a recruit. declined the proffer of a captaincy from conscientious convictions of alack of proper military education, and shouldered his musket asa private soldier. He fought in the battle of Fredorickaburg, in the operations of Gen- eral Gillmore near Charleston, of Butler on the north of thé games, twice at Petersburg, at Chapin’s Farm and in Stumerous other lesser engagements during two years, in all of which he was distinguished for undauuted courage and skill, Twice he was offered a commission which, for special reasons, he declined, a8 woll as all promotion in the Quarte: "s Department, On the breaking up of the Ninth be was transferred to the Third N2w York Volunteers, in which he was pro- moted step by step till be became sergeant major, after boing entrusted with responsible duties usually discharged by much higher grades of officers. A lieutenant's com- mission for him reached Fortress Monroe just after he had sailed the second time for Fort Fisher. In the as sault of that fort, while fearlessly leading the men to the charge, he fell, pierced through the body by a Minie ball. ‘His surviving comrades nce him # “model soldier.
