2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘Taurspay, Feb. 1-6 P. M. ‘The stock market was steady this morning, but un the afternoon it became unsettled and weak under the re- port that Mr. Morrill, from the Committee of Ways and Means, had reported the new finance bill to the House of Representatives, and that this conferred a wide discre- tionary authority upon the Secretary of the Treasury, At the early session of the open board New York Central sold at 89%, Erie 81%, Reading 10034, Michigan South- ern 69%, Cleveland and Pitsburg 82%, Rock Island 100%, Northwestern 23%, Fort Wayne 9434, Schuylkill Coal 163. Atthe first regular board quotations were generally a shade lower and the market in. clined to dulness) New York Central closed 3% lower than at ¢the haif-past two board yesterday; Erie 3%, Cleveland and Pittsburg 1, Northwestern pre- ferred %%, Fort Wayne 34, Cumberland %. Michigan Southern was 3¢ higher, Reading and Illinois Central wore steady. Government securities were dull but steady. After the call Michigan Southern was strong, and rose to 7034, and the rest of the railway shares were 3 a 3 better; but at the one o’clock sessions the market, although steady, was devoid of animation. At the half- past two board it was heavy. Erie closed 134 lower than at the first board, New York Central %, Reading , Michigan Southern 3, Cleveland and Pittsburg 3, North- western 34, preferred 3, Fort Wayne %, Quicksilver 7%. Iitnois Central and Ohio and Mississippi certificates were steady. Government securities were dull and prices unaltered. At the open board, at half-past three, prices experi- enced a further decline, Erie being’ still the weakest ‘stock on the list, selling at 794 a 79, Now York Central 88 a 87%, Reading 0934 a 993g, Michigan Southern 69, Cloveland and Pittsburg 803g a %, Rock Island (b. 3) 9934, Northwestern 27% a %, preferred 64%, Fort Wayne 92%, Cumberland 45, Afterwards the mar! ket continued unsettled till near the close of business, when it became firmer, and at half-past five o’clock New York Central was quoted at 8774, Erie 79, Michigan Southern 6934, Cleveland and Pittsburg 81%, Rock Island 9914, Northwestern 28, Fort Wayne 92%. The tone of the European news by the Africa had a reassuriny effect with regard to tho state of the British money market, the increase of £144,000 in the bullion in the Bank of England indicating returning ease, and a probable reduction very soon of the rate of discount, Consols show an improvement of 3¢ upon the previous ad- vices. Five-twenties were quoted at 653 a 66 in London, ‘on the evening of ,the 20th, against 66 on the 17th; but at Frankfort, on Sunday, the 21st, they were sold at 7034, including interest, the news of the decline of gold on this side having been received in the interval by the steamer Australasian. Erie, reported at 67 a 5734, shows a de- chine of 34; Illinois Central 3. It was rumpred on the street this afternoon that the Halifax steamer had brought a considerable amount of Erie stock, and hence the marked decline; but the probability is that those who circulated the rumor knew nothing about the mat- ter, and were simply “bearing” Erie. The gold market opened at 14034, but notwithstanding the extreme scarcity of coin for delivery it declined be- fore noon to 189%%. Subsequently it recovered, and closed at 14034. Loans were made at 34a 3¢ per cent per day. * The fact of gold being worth so much to lenders keeps the foreign exchange market weak and inactive by caus- ing importers to defer purchases and bankers to postpone shipments of specie, There were no transactions of im- portance to-day, and quotations were irregular. Bank- ers’ bills on England at sixty days were purchasablo at 108% a 1083, and very few commercial bills were in the market. The steamer Atlantic, from Aspinwall, brought $953,288 in treasure. The money arket continues easy, at 5 a6 per cont for call loans, with only a moderate demand, and a con- siderable surplus offering at the lower rate. Tho balance im the Sub-Treasury is at the same time very little short of a hundred millions. This promises prolonged mone- tary ease at this centre, and in the natural order of things ft should exert an influence in stimulating speculation on the Stock Exchange; but thus far in the year the abund. ance and cheapness of money have not sufficed to coun- teract the effect of “bear’’ operations based upon popular apprehensions regarding the national finances, and, in the case of most of the railway securities on the Stock Exchange, earnings. But the latter have been fully di the more especially as the net earnings are likely to show an increase in the future upon those of the last three months. What most tends to disturb confidence in values of every kind is the uncertainty attending the financial policy of the government, and every citizen has a right to demand from Congress such specific legislation as will enable him to adjust his affairs to the situation. Although the country has great con- fidence in the present Secretary of the Treasury, it would be a national evil to leave too much to bis individual discretion; for in that event there would be continual doubt and perplexity in the mindsof the community as to how he might use his authority, and under certain contingencies this might prove disastrous. The new finance Dill, introduced in the House to-day, embodies substantially one of the worst features of the original bill, which, in deference, we presume, to Mr, McCulloch, the Committee of Ways and Means, although opposed to it, failed to strike out. They have simply submitted it to the House without their sanction, and the House will probably reject the clause as well as make other modifications of the bill, which will make the future policy of the government clear to all, thus giving stability to values and lessen- ing the Hability to panies, to which we should be other- wise abnormally exposed. Petroleum stocks were generally firm, but Bennehoff Run was lower, owing to the fire at the wells, At the first board Bonnehoff Run closed $1 45 lower than at the same time yesterday, selling at $15 85; Pithole Creek 90c., solling at $8; United States 2he., selling at $18, Brooklyn sold at 40c., Clinton $1 70, Forest County Le., Second National $3 35, Palmer Petroleum $3 50, Pithole Consolidated $2 70, Empire and Pithole $1 25, Excelsior 75c., Germania 18¢., New York, Philadelphia and Balti- more T8c., Oil Creck $2, Columbian Coal and Mining $1 05, Atthe second board Palmer Petroleum closed 35e. lower than at the first board, selling at $3 15; Pithole Creek 26e., selling at $7 75. Forest County sold at 1le., Oil Creek $2, United States $18 15, Bennehoff Run $16, Buchanan Farm 680., Central $3, Germania 18c. The business of the board was to-day removed into the Stock Exchange building. The ground floor of the Stock Exchange was to-day opened to subscribers only upon payment of the annual subscription of one hundred dollars. The Moor is understood to have been leased for $25,000 per annum. ‘ The capital stock of the Boston, Hartford and Erio Railroad Company is $20,000,000; enpital paid in, $11,756,500; total amount of de $7,051,756; total cost of road November 30, 1865, $16, “45, length of line in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, ¢ woteut and New York, about four hundred miles, oh two handred and forty are im operation or + »mpleted.

We bave received the following condensed history of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad from a correspondent in }. Mobile :— TO THE EDITOR OF THR NEW YORK HERALD. ‘The Mobile — oe separ Dinnlaee. Bnd. out ‘specially speaking, an Alabama road, ea “ re the Fate it runs through Missis- stock Is in the or Mis- ph. and Kentucky. The immense value of road has uot yet as it was not completed until after the war was dec! hence the commercial world has not ex, rienced any profit from this destined great and wealthy enterprise. i might be called a singular coincidence, that on the night of the day which saw the last rail laida a ch was received by L. J. Fleming, General Super- intendent of the road, that two thousand federal troops had landed at Cairo, Ill. A short period afterwards the by both armies. In 1864 General Sherman destroyed fifty miles of the road, which was immediately rebuilt by the scorer in thirty days, through the energy and supervision of Engineer L. J. Fleming. The original idea of the road was conceived by M..J. D. Baldwin, a Mobilian, who atone time was connected with the cours. From a casual perusal of a map representing the Southera Stal r. Baldwin formed the opinion that a railroad could be built extend- ing to the West. At first he could not get a hearing among the people; but, before a year had expired others awoke to the same idea, which resulted in forming a charter and the organization of a company in the State of Alabama, and afterwards of Mississippi. Colonel Geo. 8. Gorescs! of the most esteemed men in the South) and J. J. McRae (who was speaker of the House of Re- presentatives of Mississippi, and since ex-Governor of Mississippi), were appointed to open books of subscription for stock on the line from Mobile to Co- lumbus, Ky., in 1848, which resulted in a great success, ‘The road was incorporated in 1847 by the Legislature of Alabama, and during.the session of the Legislature at Jackson, Miss., in 1848, it was incorporated under a libe- ralcharter for that State, and subsequently charters were granted in Tennessee and Kentucky, which makes ‘this road one of the longest im the whole country under a single charter; and, what is rather peculiar, that running through four different States, and over the distance of four hundred and seventy-five miles, the line does not cross one stream of water large enough to be called a river of any magnitude. 1 crosses the Obion, of Ten- nessee, being the largest river on the northern side, and the Chickasaha is the largest on the southern side. From this fact the Company have been spared the expense of building bridges. e Acharter has been granted by the Superior Court of Chatham county, Ga., which embraces the city of Savan- nah, toa party of individuals, whose corporate title is to be, “Georgia Joint Stock Land and Immigration Company,”” ‘but which, as will be seen by a recapitulation of tne pur poses of the corporation, would more properly be termed the Savannah Steamship and Banking Company. Tho nominal capital is to be five millions of dollars, with the privilege of organizing and proceeding to busineas on one million, in order to procure which the company is authorized to isste two millions of dollars in bonds, It hag the power of purchasing and building ships and other vessels for the transportation of immigrants and merchandise, to make advances for merchandise and produce, and aid planters in raising crops, and to offer facifies and aid to other persons, to purchase and hold real and personal property, to lend money, and'to deal ia and foreign exchange. Pa, Commercial of 27th inst. has tho in reference to the accuracy of Secrotary Harlan’s recent report to Congress :— Tho utter Worthlessness of figures, which at the same time are made the basis of important legislation, 6 com- pletely illustrated by a report which the of the Internor bas made to of the princi manu- facturing cities of the cou and the products of their manufa:tures, wherein Pittsburg figures near the tail of the list, with eleven militons as the sum total of the value of her a products, If Mr. Secretary Harlen has no more reliable fi we advise him to bura them at once. Wecan show him beyond dispute that no statement, having the slightost olaim to accuracy, would place the manufacturing products of Pittsburg at Jess than one bundred millions, In the financial column of the same paper ye find the following :— ° Mr. Thurston, the President of the Roard of Trade, who is always wide awake to the reputation and interests of our city, called the attention of the members on Change to-day to an erroncous statement of the statistics of the manufactures of Pittsburg, which ap) in the bean y= columns of the morning papers, The Secretary of the Interior was required by a resolution of the House to furnish the statistics of manufactures of cities, em- bracing those having a hundred thousand inhabitants and upwards. It appears that Pittsburg is classed among the small manufacturing towns and the value of her manufactures put down at $11,000,000, This is so grossly erroneous that the President of the Board of Trade was instructed to prepare a letter to our Representatives at Washington embodying such data and facts as will place the Iron City ina true light. Doubtless the Secretary 3 ea Interior obtained bis estimates from the census o . Komp P. Rattle, Public Treasurer of North Carolina, in his late report to the General Assembly states the debt of the State contracted before the war, and not re- pudiated by the Convention, to be $9,749,500, to which must be added the interest due and unpaid, in round numbers, $3,000,000, making in all $12,749,500. The State owns stocks in railroad companies and bonds of railroads and other corporations, most of which were Productive before the war, equal to $9,673,289. Mr. Battle estimates the lorses of the State by the war at $250,000,000, of which $200,000,000 was for slaves, The present value of real and personal property he estimates at $250,000,000. In consideration of the want of a cir- culating medium, occasioned by the sudden destruction of the Confederate and State Treasury notes, he recom. mends that the bonds and coupons now due and to be- come due the present year be funded, and that no ap- propriation be made to pay interest at present. He «peaks encouragingly, however, of the prospect of early resumption of payment of the interest, It is reported that the owners of the steamships Rising Star, Guiding Star and other vessels, headed by Mr. W. H. Aspinwall, are forming a company to run a line of steamers between this port and San Francisco, via the Isthmus of Panama, in opposition to the Pacific Mail Company. Competition in the carry: ing @ade, alike with other traffic, is generally for the advantage of the public, and provided the new enter- prise is sustained with an ample capital at the start it May turn out successful for the stockholders and bene. fielal to the country and travellers between the two oceans; but a company on such «a route mast be strong and well equipped to win in the race for popular favor, That the pro moters of this new wndertaking are aware of the rocks and quickeands which surround such an enterprise there is every reason to infer, and with the practical knowledge of the subject they poses their success of tailure will depend almost entirely upon the length of the company's puree on embarking. With plenty of money and brains the new line may ultimately be made all that its promoters hope for, New York Stock Exe Fenrvany 1, 1866.

Fen. 1.—In the case of the United States versus Messrs, Fabian, Chauncy and Barney, Judge Shipman, at the opening of the court, addressed the counsel on either side. and said, in reference to the motion to quash the indictment: —So many questions are presented, so many questions and considerations, and so many pots that may be material involved, that I do not deem it proper, whatever my present views may be, that I should decide upon the questions now without further opportu- ity to investigate them, og | with regard to some branches of the case, The case is therefore postponed till Tuesday next, ateleven A.M.

By order Brevet Bri Gro. Bunce, Captain 54th N. Y.'V, ‘The President and Directors were completely taken by surprise. Tho officers of the company and ‘many of the stockholders remained in the city on its evacuation, and on the entrance of the Union forces. Operations were continued and the com) not interfered with. On the contrary, General Woodford and General Hatch extended all the facilities of the department to enable the officers to carry on the works efficiently, The bills against the mili department for gas consumption have been prompily and regularly paid every month. ‘The gas- ometers, the gas works and street pipes hav: «1! been re- paired at heavy outlay, and the company were once more on the road to prosperity when the above order was issued, Tt was at first supposed that the Proceeding was insti- fed in favor of Northern stockholders whose stock had n confiscated by the Confederate authorities at the commencement of the war. In an interview of the President with General Bennett the latter stated that the order was issued by direction of General Sickles under instructions from Washington. It is regarded by the military as only the renewal of a standing order over- looked in the case of the gas company by General Hatch. Tho standing order of the War Department alluded to requires the turning over of all captured property to the United States Treasury agents appointed for the pur- pose. The president and directors having taken the oath of allegiance and complied with all the requisitions of amnesty prociainations, believed themselves secure in the possession of their works, not deeming them as captured or abandoned property. This extraordi- nary proceeding has caused a general feeling of depres- sion among our citizens, no property now being con- sidered safe for an investment. The collection of the internal revenue tax on cotton is another great obstacle to the trade of Charleston. A fow days ago Messrs. Screven & Nisbet, old cotton factors, started the light draught steamer Darlington a the Pee- dee river, with stores and passengers, from this city for Cheraw, Mars Blof, and other places on the river. Of course a largo return freight of cotton was expected, the planters in that region being anxious to sell and urging the resumption of the trips of the Darlington, formerly running on that line. On the return of the steamer, with some six hundred bales, an effort was made, by the Col- lector of Internal Revenue in that district, to intercept and detain her at the Peedee bridge until the cargo was discharged, the cotton weighed and the tax paid Fe was too late, however, the steamer having passed the bridge before his arrival. To have complied with the Collector’s order would have detained the steamer for at least a fortnight. The merchants here have forwarded & memorial on tho subject to Washington, praying to be allowed to pay the tax in this city. The arrivals of cotton since the completion of the South Carolina Railroad to Columbia have been largely on the increase. It is now believed that not one-fourth of the old crop of cotton in the interior has been brought here, in consequence of the previous difficulties of transporta- tion, Merchants are now hopeful of a good business dur- ing the spring and *summer, and until the coming in of the next crop. This isa very cheering prospect, and if the people were only assured of their full civil right and non-interference by the military, no doubts woul be entertained of the speedy restoration of much of the old business and happy days of former times.

A. Greene, Wm. W. Thompson, J. M. Turlay, P. R Van Buren, Marcellus Walker, Marcus Walker. Mr. Orprxe called the attention of the Chamber to the following paragraph from the Albany Argus:— A very singular thing occurred at the, White House yeater. day, which shows that great wealth and common sense are not always found in the aame individuals; proving also that men ean become rich and yet make perfect laughing stocks of themselves the moment they appear outside thelr busine One of the most supremely ridieolons exhibitions of tt Kind took place at the Executive mansion yesterday. A mittee from the Chamber of Commerce, in company with four or five others, called at the White House to press favorite candidate for Collector. They sent in to the Pre dent the first card, with the following superseription committee from thé Chamber of Comineree desire to see the President, in company with other wealthy men, to-day.’ The subject was discussed for some time, it being de- clared by sundry members that no committes whatever had been sent to Washington to refer to the vacantgCol- lectorship. The matter was finally set aside. Mr. 8. 8, Reecus, on behalf of a special committee, read an interesting document relative to the Paris Expo- sition for 1867, giving interesting details as to the pro- duets to be oxhibited by the States and Territories of the Union. General Strong called attention to the prospective rations of Dr. Macgowan in Asia, and adverted to t! nefits which this country would receive from his travels. He subsequently introduced Dr. Macgowan, who ratated that his plans of exploration had received the a of prominent statesmen ‘and organizations, and that it would be im point committees to assist him tn realizin; The Geographical, Statistical and Agricn! having designated committees for that paren, the Chair appointed a committee parang lesars, H.

Immediate stops were accordingly taken to arrest the of. fenders, and tho three young men named were taken into custody by detectives Horbelt and Mullen, but the others implicated in the felony are still at large, The prisoner Moss confessed his guilt, and stated the connection of the other parties inthe crime, He also stated that the goods they had stolen from the store of Mr. Marke were sold to Bernard Lewis, keeping a cloth. ing store at 88 Baxter strect, and Win. Wolff, keeping a «pawn shop in Jackson street, near Cherry. ‘The detec. tives called at the place of Lewis, when he, on beng ques tioned, admitted buying cloth’ from Moss, but denied having it in hia store.

Military Matters. ARRIVAL OF THE TWENTIETH REGIMENT NEW YORK STATE MILITIA—THE LAST INFANTRY REGIMENT OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The rear guard of the Army of the Potomac, the Twentieth regiment New York State militig, numbering four hundred and sixty officers and men, under command of Brevet Brigadier General Jacob B, Hardenbergh, arrived in this city from Norfolk on last Tuesday evening. The ‘Twentio:h regiment was first organized in April, 1861, at Kingston, Ulster county, in this State, and was the fifth organization that left New York under the call for three months militia men. At the expiration of that term they returned to Ulster county, and immediately reorganizing under Colonel Pratt as three years men, they again took the fleld, and were attached to the Army of the Potomac, where with great gallantry they parti- cipated in all of the memorable engagements under General Pope in Virginia and McClellan in Maryland. At the second battle of Bull Run the gallant Colonel Pratt fell, and was succeeded by Colonel Gates, under whose command the regiment had formerly beon. South Mountain and Antietam are flelds upon which the men of Ulster county were particularly conspicuous during the bloody contest; while at Gettysburg, attached to the First army corps, the regiment lost one balf its number, every officer in the regiment receiving one or more wounds, upon which occasion the Twentioth was specially complimented in general orders. In November, 1864, Colonel Gates resigned, and was succeeded by Colonel Hardenbergh, who received his present brevet rank shortly afterwards for “gallant and meritorious conduct.” After the battle of Gottysburg they did good service as provost guard to the Army of the Potomac, and subsequently to the armies operating against Richmond, with headquarters at City Point, Va, On Sunday, April 2, during the last hours of the siege of Petersburg, when General Grant’s plans for the capture and occupation of the ‘‘key to Richmond” were fast cul- minating, every man was needed at the front, and at an early hour in the morning the Twentieth mil'tia was marching rapidly towards the front of Petersburg. Fort edman was charged and occupied by them, with a loss of several men, The regiment was next stationed in the city of Rich- mond, where they remained until November 28, 1865, when they wore ordered to Norfolk. Here General Har- denbergh assumed command of the lower counties em- braced in the Department of Eastern Virginia, his head- quarters being at Norfolk. The Twentieth claims the honor of being the last volunteer infantry regiment of the Army of the Potomac mustered oat of the United States service. een is the official roster of the commissioned Fin axp Stary. —Colonel and Brevet Brigadier Gene- ral, Jacob B.
