FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Bonpay, August 6, 1865. The stock market has been unsettled during the past Week, owing chiefly to an active seven per cont moncy market, and apprehensions of stringency. The activity was mainly due to tho temporary withdrawal of $81,401,774 in currency from ordinary circulation by the government, that being the “amount in the Treasury” om July 31, according to the recently published statement 7 ofthe national debt, We can see no good reason, how- ‘ever, for the accumulation of so large @ sum in the Treasury and its branches, but there is reason to believe that sinco the issue of the statement referred to the Treasury disbursements have been active, and that a large portiin of the amount will soon be restored to circulation, It is difficult to ascer- fain exactly the total of paper money in the Bub-Treasury here, as the “balance,” which on Saturday ‘was $60,940,689, includes all the gold coin in band. It te clear that the most proper course would be to state the eoin and paper separately, and that the custom of count- fag “mixed currency” in one common total, however ‘stisfactory it may have been on aspecie basis, is not sufficicntly explicit under the present condition of affairs, Moreover, as the government is just now selling a por- tion, if not the whole, of its current receipts for duties, mo secret should be made of the fact, the more especially ta the policy of #0 doing is open to censure, on account ‘ef its being unauthorized by Congress as well as on the wore of inexpediency. But the money market was active, and threatened with stringency more in imagination than fact, and owing to fears and consequent distrust than anything material. Apprehensions of scarcity fend to produce a real scarcity even in the absence of ‘ny real cause. It is to the interest of the government % keep money easy in order to keep its securities from sinking, aud to enable it to pay out certificates of in- @ebiodness freely. The issue of the latter is virtually that of a new loan, and monetary ease is requisite to float them. The addition of more than twenty-seven millions to the currency between the Ist of June and the end of July, exclusive of national bank issues, indicates the reverse of a desire to contract its volume on the Part of the government. We have now about a thou- gand millions of legal tender paper in circulation, $710,986,269 of which is in the form of direct Treasury fasues, ind $165,704,440 in that of national bank notes, the remainder being in State bank notes, The issues of the nat'onal banks are steadily increasing, and will before Song aggregate three hundred millions, the limit imposed. by the act. It must, at the same time, be considered ‘that a large amount of the smaller denominations of geven-thirty notes are employed as currency in the inte- wior, and especially the West, where the people have be- ome so accustomed to a currency below par that they ‘take them without the coupons. Under ali these circum- stances a stringent money market may be considered ext to impossible, although moderate activity may be expected at 6 a 7 per cent, with occasional deviations ‘Pelow this standard. Some of the former bulls on the Stock Exchange who ‘mloaded a few days ngo, are still using the bugbcarof tight money market to depress prices, in order that ‘they may load up again at lower prices than are now current. But they are opposed by the prevailing spirit of the street, which favors a rise, as well as by the large and increasing volume of the currency. ‘The bank statement on Monday may not make avery favorable exhibit, owing to withdrawals by the Treasury (Of balances from the national banks, and the fact that its @isbursements, now actively going forward, have not yet (een fully felt. Butali the inconvenience arising from the temporary reduction of loanable fonds at this point bas been already experienced, and future statements w.I1 show a progressive increase in the deposits and legal fenders. in the event of any artificial stringency fxising, the banks cun promptly supply the remedy by presenting a portion or the whole of theirClearing House @ertificates for redemption.

But, prior to the meeting of Congress, he should Imstitute investigations and prepare an estimate, to the dest of his knowledge and belief from the @ources of information at his command, show- fing what the final aggregate of the national edt is likely to be. He should aio recommend the con- eolidation of the mass of securities now afloat into a com- mon stock like console, bearing only three per cont inter. est in coin. As it is, all but two hundred millions of the fanded debt bears six per cent interest in gold, and eight hundred and thirty millions of seven-thirty notes are fundablo at the option of the holders into six per cont Bonds. This rate of interest involves a burden entirely two heavy to be permanently borne by the people, and ae the largest holders @f government securitics are those who have made shoddy fortunes by the war, they can well afford the re- duction of the rate of interest, We have English proce. dents in our favor in the adoption of this course, for Great Britain reduced the rate of interest on her debt three times, By funding the debt in this manner the ‘annual charge to the nation would be so much reduced that the sinking fund could be established, and the debt thereby rpidly reduced, thus freeing the poople from many of the potty and ob- Boxious taxes to which they are now sub- fected.

Vantassel, the fire- man, whore death was the result of scalds received on Saturday afternoon by the explosion of the flue in the port boiler of the Arrow, off the foot of Thirteenth street, North river, as the boat was on her way to Sing Sing, as reported in Sunday’s Herarp, The testimony adduced ‘went to show that some weeks since the boilers and flues of the Arrow were examined by a government in- spector, when some repairs were made, after which the bowlers were considered capable o' carrying twenty-five pounds of steam to the square inch, At that tim patch was placed on the flue which exploded, and on ex: amining that flue subsequent to the explosion, @ fresh crack oF fracture was discovered. At the tlme of tho ex. plosion the safety valve indicated that there was only eighteen or twenty pounds of steam on. After carefully listening to all the evidence the jury found * that the deceased came to his death by injuries accitentally re- ceived by the explosion of the flue in port boiler the boat Arrow, now at the foot of Thirtieth day of Aygust, 1966.7 pl SOUTH CAROLINA. The Garrisoning of the State with Negro Troops. THE EFFECT ON THE CHIVALRY. Views and Policy of Ex-Gover- nor Pickens, &e., &e., &o. Our Charleston Correspondence. Cuarteston, 8, C., July 28, 1865. THE STATE GARRISONED BY NEGRO TROOPS, Appearances would seem to indicate that it is the in- tention of the government to retain a firm grip upon the Festive little State of South Carolina. The work of gar- risoning the interior has fairly begun, and it is likely that, ere many weeks, every county town in the State will have its company of United States troops quartered atthe Court House, The people generally evince no surprise at this measure; but it is a subject of universal Togret among them that black troops should have been 80 largely used in carrying it into execution. The points in the interior thus far occupied by detachments of United States soldiers are:—Columbia, Orangeburg, Ham- burg, Florence, Edgefield, Abbeville, Aiken, Summer- ville, and the stations along that portion of the South Carolina Railroad now in running order. All these places, with the exception of Columbia, are held by por- tions of the negro regiments. Colonel Van Wyck’s fine command, the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiment New York Volunteers, for some time past encamped near Summerville, are now under orders to proceed to Newbury, from which point detachments will probably be sent to occupy Yorkville, Lancaster, Chester, and other towns along the North Carolina line. ‘THE EFFECT OF THE POLICY OF EMPLOYING NEGRO GARRISONS, As it is, the arrival of these garrisons will not be alto- gether unwelcome, and if they were wholly composed of white troops their coming would in many sections of the State be hailed with joy. In fact, the sudden dis- bandment of the large numbers of half-disciplined troops which lately formed the armies of the rebellion has given rigo to disorders of a very serious character, and which the people are very anxious tose speedily and summarily suppressed. As an instance of the troudlous character of the times in South Carolina since the return of ‘‘peace,”’ I will relate an incident which came under my personal observation. 4 BLAOK BEARER OF DESPATCHES. Riding, about a fortnight ago, along one of the roads on his way. He isformed me, in the usual darkey lingo, and with much’ excitement. in his manner,’ that war had broken out again in the region from which he came, about twelve miles distant, After much cross-questioning as to the nature of this neighborhood ‘‘war” I gathered from his ac- count that a number of lawless returned soldiers had banded themselves together, and, beihg well armed and provided with a wagon train, were proceeding from Jantation to plantation, everywhere helping themselv untifully to provisions and to whatever other valua- ables chanced to strike their fancy. To put a stop to these outrageous doings the order-loving citizens had Organized themselves and assumed A bold front against the self-constituted raiders; but, being sadly deticient in arms‘and ammunition, they had, so be a rather the worst of the fight. At this juncture of irs my in- formant—the old negro—was despatched to the United States commandant of the post at Edgefteld Court House, with letters. earnestly asking for Fe against the out- laws, or at least begging for an adequate supply of suitable arms. My own route lay through the very neighborhood in which he represented these disturb- ‘ances to be going on, and I found his story to be correct inevery particular. The ‘alarm and excitement provailed on the plantations, and sharp skirmishing be- tween the raiders and their’ opponents wag actually in progress as I passed, The number of the former was stated to be three hundred; but this was probably an exaggeration of their real strength. 1 have not yet been able to learn the upshot of this “war.” Proceedings of a like lawlexs character are by no means confined to one neighborhood, or to @ single district of our state; though I believe they have seldom been either so formidable in their extent or met with so seeceine’ ut 80 @resistance as in the instance I have given. scanty, as yet, aro the means of communicatio: the interior that one hears little or nothing of these events in Charleston. The local paper evidently knows nothing about them, its entire attention being about equally divided between sounding the praiges of the military magnates in our midst and @ixcussing the pecu- Mar virtues of particular ice creams. GOVERNOR VICKYN8 AND HIB VIEWS OF THE SITUATION. Among tho prominent leaders of the rebellion in this Btate wi have gracefully succumbed to the tri- umph of the Union arms is ox-Governor Francis W. Pickens, whore order to the State Cadots to fire upon the Star of the West, when that vessel was bringing sup- plies to Major Anderson’s men in Fort Sumter, firet lit ‘the flame of war throughout the land. Since the expira- tion of his official term Governor Pickens has been quietly residing upon his fine plantation in Edgefield district, taking no part, other than a deep interest, in the great events of the war. Being ‘one of the largest and most successful cotton planters in the State, of course the emancipation of the slaves has seriously affected his wealth. But, without indulging in any vain regrets, the ex-Governor quietly announces his intention to begin planting anew, upon the principle of compensated labor, and says that he will do all in his power to benefit the people lately his slaves, by inducing them to work diligently and faithfully at a fair rate of remuneration, affording them the means of educating themselves and otherwise elevating their con- dition, according to the scheme suggested by the govern- ment. He is, however, not over sanguine as to the result of the experiment, adhering to the opinion that the plantation negro cannot be made to work under h 74 other than a compulsory bs eam Many suppored that Governor Pickens would have been among the first arrested after the closé of the war; but, in his regard, as ‘as well as towards his successor, Governor Bonham, tho authorities seem to have adopted a lenient policy.

Tho particulars in the case are substantially as follows :— Mr. Coffin had not been in good health for some time Past, and has boan very much depressed at times, and have been entertained by his friends that he would make an attempt upon his own life—in fact, it is vaid that he did take a dose of Polson Jast. year, and that his Ife was with much difficulty saved by the offorts of his physician, Dr, Ellsworth, of this city. It seems that last evening, about five o'clock, Mr. Coffin went into the oel- far of ble house and discharged a ball from one barrel of his revolver into-hia head. ‘The pistol was held in his right band, and pointed to a Suicide. imer, August 5.) fears spot just back, of and two inches above his right ear. he ball rev, downwards into the brain towards int back of his left ear; but did not come out, remain- ing in the brain. Some of his family, hearing the report, rushed down to the cellar, and found him living and able to walk. He told his friends something in substance iike this ;-—“I am shot, and sball die; I meant to kill myself—I have done it. Thave tried todo it since last summer, bus was pre vented. Ihave done it now. Lift me up carefully, #0 a8 not to hurt me.’’ Hb was carefully lifted and conveyed up stairs, but not without causing him such pain as to make him ecreatn. A physician was called, and Mr. C. said to him, “You are too late this tme. You stopped it before (alluding to the poison fast fall), but you can’t now.” He continued living through the night. Dr. Ellswortb, of this city, was called, and probed the wound to a con- siderable depth, but without finding the ball. Mr. C. did not retain his senses, apparently, long after the removal up stairs, but continued to live, and was alive to-day at noon, though fast sinking.

A Hoxnmix Prepictioy.—Professor Leonidas, an In- Gianapolis astrologer, after looking at the rings around the sun, makes the following horrible prophecy: —"I ob- serve by the planets that a dreadful plague will commence in Russia, originating from silks brought over from 4 Cairo and Turkey. It will extend across the ite Sea, derolate Germany, cause immense mortality in England, and then spread to the United States. This dreadful epidemic will spot the le like a leopard, and turn the flesh of a purple black. The pestitmce will carry off such an amount of mortals that there will not be enough left to bury the dead or give them Chris- tian burial. The streets of our cities, towns and villages will be swarmed with the dead and dying. The groans and yells of horror will fill every breast with consterna- tion, Confusion will abound on all sides, The dvath- Knell will cease to toll ag the malady -_ in fury. The infected will fall and die wherever they take it The stench of the dead will become so common that the sur- vivors will not heed it.”’ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS Married Davewront—WitKrs.—On Bal Angast 6, at the ir.
