FINANCIAL AND ee Sarvrpay, Nov. 4—6 P. M. ‘The stock market was heavy at the early session of the ‘open board this morning, the unpropitious weather and apprehensions of a cholera visitation having dampened speculative ardor and induced a host of timid persons to realize, New York Central closed on the call at 101%, Erie 98%, Hudson River 107}, Reading 114, Michigan Southern 72%, Cleveland and Pittsburg 80%, North- western 321;, preferred 65, Rock Island 108, Fort Wayne 108, Prairie du Chien (s, 10) 90, Terre Haute and ‘Alton (s. 3) 48, Objo and Mississippi certificates 20%, Canton 42. At the first regular board there were large eales to realize, and prices yielded on the call slightly, with the exception of Prairie du Chien, which closed three per cent higher than at the second board, and Ohio and Mississippi certificates %. New York Central was 13, lower, Erie %, Reading 134, Michigan Southern %, Cleveland and Pittsburg %, Northwestern 1%, Fort Wayne 1%, Alton and Terre Haute 4, Cumber- land %, Canton 3. Quicksilver was upchanged. At- lantic Mail sold at 144. Toledoand Wabash declined from 5214 yesterday afternoon to 46 (b.10). Government securities were dull but steady. After the call Mr. Seymour proposed that the Board recur to its old system of holding # second session on Saturday, on the ground that the absence of such diverted businenso the public: board, and, as they had to keep their offices open during business hours on Saturday alike with the other five working days of the wook, nothing was gained by the omission of the second board, Mr, Vermilye opposed the motion, and stated that early closing on tho last day of the wook was becoming more and more general, and that although tho brokers’ offices were kept ‘open during Saturday, most of them transacted no new Dusiness after two o'clock; that tho members of the board worked hard enough, and made money enough during the reat of the week, to enable them to dispense with the second board on Satuaday, and that it was relief which they ought not to deny themselves, A rather excited discussion, lasting for a few moments only, followed, when the question was decided by show of hands, fifty-seven being in favor of the motion for a second board and ninety-four against it. At the open board at ono o'clock the market was a frac- tion lower but steady, Prairie du Chien excepted, which rose to 107 under the mysterious and questionable mani- pulations of the “cornering” party, and afterwards, on the street, further advanced to 112 a 115, or 32 per cent higher than at the opening, of the first board yester- day. The clique now handling this stock, the whole of which amounts to only twenty-nine thousand shares, represented by $2,988,073, is not the same that began the movement. The first clique sold out at a good profit, and then the stock board took it up, after which the present engineers took hold of it, It is a matter of surprise to many that the high price at which it has been selling latterly should got have called out the stock in the hauds of investors in sufficient amount to lessen the power of the clique over it; but this is accounted for by the fact that the stock is held in Wall street to a much larger extent than is generally supposed. The stock 18 non-dividend paying and actually worth no more than when it sold at 49, on; the 15th of September last; but by skilful deception on the part of the clique, in loaning it out so as to make it easy of delivery for the bears, the Intter were decoyed into selling it short, and now, when the stock is called in, those who sold it cnt borrowed to make their deliveries are sorely bitten, The short interest in the stock is not very large, but the object of those cornering it is to make their profit out of a few victims, and hence the absurdly high figures to which they Lave Tun it, In addition to the common stock of the road there is $2,759,500 of first proferred and $1,014,000 of second preferred, and $443,000 of first mortgage bonds. The fluctuations in the price of the common stock be- twoen the end of 1860 and tho beginning of 1865 were as follows:— ‘Lowest Highest Toledo and Wabash, another of the Western fancies under manipulation, is half-stock, the amount outstand- ing being only $2,442,960, and, therefore, it is quite as easily bandied as “‘I’rairie Dog’? and dangerous to sell “short."’ But all combinations to ‘“‘corner’’ stocks and force them unduly up or down are to be deprecated, ‘They are inconsistent with legitimate speculation and as unscrupulous and dishonest as brigandage. New York Central closed on the call at the open board ‘at 100%, Eric 9234, Hudson River 108, Reading 1143¢, Michigan Southern 71%, Clevelana and Piltsburg 81, Rock Island 10734, Northwestern 92, preferred 65%{, Toledo and Wabash (8, 3) 45, Fort Wayne 10314, Obio and Mississippi certificates 2024, Canton 43, Cumberland 4354, Quicksilver 48%. Afterwards, on the street, the operators recovered from the mild attack of cholera on the brain, under which they had labored during the morning, and, notwithstanding the heavy rain, a large crowd gathered, and a largo business was dove in road street, the marke’, being strong all round. Prices continued in the ascendant tll the close of business, Erie and New York Central being especially active. At five o'clork P. M. the former was quoted at 93%, New York Central 101, Northwestern 324, Northwestern pre. ferred 65%, Fort Wayne 104 a 104%, Michigan Southern 723¢ a 73, Cleveland and Pittsburg 83% a 14, Rock Island 108, Oixio and Missiesippi certificates 29 , Reading 11544, Quicksilver 4813, Cumberland 43, 1861. aX The money market continued easy at seven per cont, and in some instances balances were lent at six. The banks make # better report of their condition, owing to the sicaly return of currency from the interior. Four hundred thousand dollars were paid into the Sub-Treasury yesterday and to-day for conversion "COMMERCIAL: Wiese ol into Clearing Hense certificates, which are payablo at sight after thirty days and bear five per cent interest. About a million and a half of these wore converted during tho stringency; but the amount of twonty- five million, to which they are limited, will, from present indications, seon be imide up again, The total amount of the temporary joan withdrawn since the 6th of October has been abo::t thirteen millions, and now the receipts are nearly equal to the disbursements, The discount line shows no abatement ef activity, but borrowers are a litle better accommodated. ‘The gold market strengthened from 146% at. the open- fog, to 4 the close of business. Cash gold war joams were charged from 1-32 at and to % »P joy commission, The export of specie aggr $54,900, of which the Hansa took $12,900 ar: the City of New York $22,000, making 700. The new gold certificates will be iasued by tie Sub-Tressury some time next week. The denomiuations of a thonsand and hundred have not yet arrived from Washington, Foreign exchange was firm at 109% a 10034, Petroleum stocks were active at the first board, but be. 8 $1 lower on the majority, ang Sc. a 25. lower on a few, the rest. boing steady. Ronnehoff Run was $1 lower than at yesterday's morning board, closing at $13; Shade River 46c., closing nt $3 66; United States 250., closing at $28 16, Webster was Q5c. higher, closing at $1 62. Knickerbocker sold at 19¢., Linerty 45c,, New York and Newark 40c.. Buchanan Farm 80c.. Bradley $1 12, Ex. colsior 60c., Oceanic 60¢., Pithole Creek (the stock active) $12 45, Corydon Mining Company 75c., Kipp and Buell $1 25. A question in relation to the (ax on State benk issues thas recently boon decided by Judges Grier and Cad- walleder in the United States Court, at Philadelphia ‘The matt was brought by the government against the ‘Colum ia Bank, of Pennsylvania, and the decision was ‘In favor of the bank, It settles an important question forthe old State banks subject to tax om their circula- tion. Under the act of Congress of June 30, 1964, a ‘monthly duty or tax of one-twelfth of one per cent was <directed to be levied upom the average amount of eirewlation by any bank, and an additional duty of ome-sixth of one per cent upon the average ‘amount of circulation beyond ninety per cent of capital, which two taxes the bank paid without scraple. The former Commissioner, Mr. Lewis, insisted that instend of the tax of onétwelfth of one per cent on the average, and one-sixth of one per cent on the ¢x- eons «beyond ninety per cent of capital, the bank should pay one-twelfth of one per cent, and also oné-sixth of one per cent on the average circulation is- sued by thebank. This was refused, and a caso stated agreed to, upon which, after argument, the Court directed judgment to be entered in favor of the bank, which, of course, is an end of the claim for the additional tax.

P. Conyngham. From a careful perusal of the work we are disposed to credit it as the best contribution to the history of the late war yet written, and one which will probably be availed of by future historians with much avidity in their labors, AS a military book it is sufficient in detail and comprehon- siveness; the movements of the armies, the strategy of the generals, and the results thereof being carefully por- trayed, while the descriptions of the battles are drawn with a masterly pen. Starting with General Sherman's army from Chat- tanooga, in the spring of 1864, the author tells us that he’ accompanied the troops, as aid on @ goheral’s ‘sal and war correspondent of the New Yorx Heraip, ‘from that time until the surrender of Jobnston’s army and the collapse of the rebellion. There is no authority more reliable upon subjects such as this book treats than that of an army correspondent. Aa a general thing he has vastly moro sources of information than any military officer, and more leisure, from the absence of military dut'es, to observe what transpires and faithfully tochron- icle it. Captain Conyngham has evidently employed his opportunities profitably; for he takes us through the entire campaign with a minutenoss of description that leaves nothing to be desired. The personnel of tho gen- crals is admirably painted. Tho scones of social life in the South, which has been almost a sealed book to Northern poople, will at once impress the reader as most interesting and valuable. Slavery is described aa it existed during Sherman’a campaign in ita expiring throes, with the last demonstrations of its enermiticn rendering its approaching dissolution all the more to be rejoiced at. The battles of Chickamauga, Rocky Face Ridge, Reasacca, Snake Creek Gap, Dallas, Kenosaw, Jonesboro, Atlanta, Allatoona, the storming of Fort McAllister, ars all brilliantly deseribed in succession, as well a8 the closing fights at A-erasboro and Bentons. ville, ina manner equally attractive to’ the soldier and the civilian. The accounts of the destruction of Atianta aud the contlagration of Columbi:, the capital of South Carolina, represent some appalling seenos, which will bo received, we think, with astonishment and horror. The author appears to be wholly impartial. for we observe that neither the Northern nor the Southern army escapes reprebension in the matter of exceases committed on the march. Neither do the generals, Sherman him- self sometimes coming in fora sharp touch of cen sure, a8 well as Hood and Johnston, Wo admire this frankness, and are disposed to expect from it a larer measure of trae history than any one-sided ac- count could furnish. We have had im other books some light and sketchy descriptions of the marek of Sherman's army from Atlanta to the sea; but in the volume before ns it ig not alone the roarels, which is brilliantly as well as faithfully pictured, that wo find“but all the gigantic battles that precelod it—battles which made the march possible and rendered its completion triumphant. To the military man th's book will prove of inestimable value, whilo to the gencra! reader it is a most welcome addition to the history of the great war. ‘The accuracy of the book is, we understand, vouched for by some of the generals who participated in nearly all of the batties described. Major General Hooker said of it, “It is the most complete and truthful work T have seen on that subject and Brigadier Goneral Swocny pronounced the portions of. the story im which he figured remarkably accurate. Unirep Srates or Amenica Dunwxo THE Grkat Reseusiox. B: Edward McPherson. Second edition. Philp 4 Solomons: Washington, D. C. A little over a year ago the first edition of this work was published. The vast amount of historical informa- tion contained in it made it au tndispensable book in tho library of every public man ii this and other oountries, and its ready sale mado the publication-of a necond edi- tion necessary. We have before asa copy of the new issue, It brings down the events of the rebellion move- ment to what may be considered its final and most tragic pcene—the assassination of President Lincoln, om the 16th. of April, 1865, A glance at the principal djvisions of the work exhibits ite great, utility as book of referonce. ‘These divisions are: tho vote for President in 1860; do- velopment of the secession movement ; proceedings of the government in relation to the action of the insurrection- ary States; tho federal and the Confederate constitutions; administration of Abraham Lincoln, the African slavo trade, the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, con- fiscation and emancipation, repeal of the fugitive slave laws, &c. ; legislation and proclamations pelative to the war, military orders respecting elections, reconstruction of States, mixcellancous papers and speeches of the President, our foreign relations, the fmances, miscetla- neous matters, the conspiracy of disunion, the rebel ad- ministration, national polstical comventions in 1864, clos. ing up with the fall of Richmond, the surrender of the rebel armies and the death of Mr. Lincoln. On all these subjects the data age full and precise, The work cannot, with propriety, be called a “History of the Rebellion;”’ for there is no attompt made to follow the events in any Consecutive or philosephical order, It is simply a col- Jation of materials te serve in the writing of such a his- tory, and in that sease it js a work of great value.
