" ————EEE ‘FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. TUESDAY, August 25—6 P, M. The gold market was strong at the opening this morning and before ten o’clock sales were made ag high as 146);. At the board, to er, the earliest transactions were at 145%, following which there ‘Was an advance to 146, but the p. re to sell at this point soon carried the price down, and there was @ steady decline to l44'. The closing sales prior to the adjournment of the board were at 144%, fol- lowing which there was more disposition to buy than to sell manifested, and the latest quotation on the street was 1445 a 1443{. Cash gold was in superabundant supply and loans were made at fates varying from three to six per cent for carry- ing. The gross clearings amounted to $71,399,000, the gold balances to $1,701,164 and the currency bal- ances to $2,538,808. The steamer Saxonia took out 390,686 in specie. False rumors of shipments of speciefrom Europe to this port were put in circula- tion for speculative effect to assist the decline in the premium. ‘The price at intervals was as sub- 145% 2:56 P, M. vee 146 6:30 P. M. The railway share market has been dull and on the whole steady during the day. The fluctuations in Erie, which still continues to attract the attention of the street and to restrict operations in other stocks, were less wide than yesterday, mamely, from 4834 to 503%, and the evident de- sign of the party manipulating it, headed by Mr. Drew, is to force it considerably lower, and that they have the power to do this the rapid decline in the stock from 70 to 44 affords sufficient evidence. How low the stock will ultimately sink 4g uncertain, and what the intervening fluctuations May be it is equally hazardous to predict; but our ‘warning to the public to leave it severely alone loses Mothing by repetition, Those who have a taste for @abbling in Erie will, if they gratify it, run about the same risks as the gamblers who stake their money upon a throw of dice. For the last two or three days the course of the stock has been Go engineered as to produce an impression that {t was going up, but the street speculators should Guard against this deception and avoid it as they Would an arrow. There was an improved demand for Pacific Mail, coming apparent'y from outside sources, under the effect of which tue price advanced to 10134 @ 101%4 before the close. Fort Wayne was very firm, and 10634 was bid for considerable mounts. Mouey continues very abundant at four per cent, ‘with exceptional transactions on government secu- tities at three and three anda half per cent. Com- merctal paper is in somewhat limited supply, the best grade being quoted at 6 a 7 per cent, and the applications for discounts from the West show a marked falling off. The drafts on Western deposits in the banks here are also diminishing, and hence the next weekly statement of the banks of this city is likely to be favorable in comparison with the two last returns. The drain of currency west- ward from this centre set in too early to be continu: ous on s0 large a scale, and the ‘8 of monetary stringency to which it gave rise were entirely un- Warrant ed. The market for government securities opened de- cldedly weak this morning and prices were \ 9 % lower than at the close last evening, but after the Grst call @ heavy demand.to cover ‘‘short’’ contracts developed itself and prices advanced considerably. The market is largely oversold, avd the indications are that a brisk upward movement will follow the exireme depression which has latterly been experi- enced. Our national securities are the cheapest as weil as the safest in the country, and they are lower Dow than they have been for a long time past, if we deduct the accrued interest, which on the five-twea- ties of 1864 and 1865 is 27¢ percent, und on the bonds of 1867 and 1868 19; per cent. There was a sharp advance after three o'clock, and the latest quotations on the street were as follows:— Reglatered, 1831, 112% a 113; coupon, 1881, 113\ a 11344; 5-20's, registered, 1862, 1074 a 108; 5-20's, coupon, 1862, 112.4113; do., 1864, 109:f a 10934; do. 1865, 110% a 110}¢; do., 1865, January and July, 10 {5 C0., 1867, 1073¢ a 10724; do., 1868, 10734 a 10754; 10-40's, registered, 1034s a 104; do., coupon, 105'g a 10344; September compounds, 1865, 118%%3 October do., 11844. At the commencement of business the railway share market was dull, and at the early session of the open board rie sold at 49:4, Mibwaukee and st. Paul 6914 and Rock Island 98'y. At the first regular board the speculative feellng was tame and the volume of business light. On tlie call Erie closed 4% lower than at the same time yest , Tennessee sixes, new issue, 34, and North Carolina sixes, ex coupon, yhile Pactfe Mail ws higher. Gov- ernment securities were weak, end prices showed a decline ran ing from +4 to 14g. At the open board at one o'clock the market remained quiet and prices were witout material change. At the second regular board Erie was 4 higher than at the. Orst reguiar board and Milwaukee and St Paul 2%. Governnicut securities were firm at an advance of 3¢ @ % per cont, and there was a good demand from some of the principal deaiers, At the open board, at half-past three, Erie soid at 4914, New York Cen- tral 1247; and Rock Island 95!,. During the re- mainder of the afternoon the ma twas dull, and at the close at six o'clock the quotatious were as sub- joined:—New Y Brie, 4914 0494; KR 1g, 905 a 91 wikee and St. Paul, 74% @ 76: do., preferred, 82; I Michigan Southern, 82%; 10, 99 & 9949; , SLASL4; do. preferred, La 814; Pacilic Mail, 101)4; Quicksilver, 1934 a 2014. With respect to the injunction order made by Judge Baviuard yesterday agatust the Milwaukee and St. Paul ¢ it appears that the United States Supreme vided in @ case affecting the same rights as ‘The sale (to ‘he Milwaukee and Minnesota Company) must be set aside, and raid company perpetually enjoined from settling Up any richt or title under it. The judgment credit ors, the cormplainants, are at liberty to enforce their judgments against the defendants therein sub- ject to ali prior ilens and incumbrances.'’ The order of Judge Barnard is against the company in whose favor this decision was rendered. The forcign exchange market was a shade lower to-day, but steady and quiet on the basis of 1004 for prime bankers’ bills at sixty days. At the close bankers’ bilis on England at sixty days were quoted at 109'¢ 9 1001/; at three days, 109% @ 1095; com- mercial bills, 1090/4 a 108, Bankers’ bills on Paris, at @ixty days, 5.18% a 5.164%.

None of this suerenoy thus sent out has yet been returned, but the opinion now prevails that most of the new crops have been drawn against, and within a few days a return flow is anticipated. ‘The arrivals of currency from New York were also below the average for some little time past, and most banks report that they can conveniently place all they care to, There is but little if any improvement to note in the local demand outside of (cat circles, the inquiry from mercautile quarters only being moderate.

The President says:— Since the last report made to you your raliroad has been extended to Des Moines (the capital of the State of lowa), opened for business September 9, 1867, and has been successfully operated with satisfactory results. Contracts have been made for the grading and bridging of the line from Des Moines to the Mis- souri river, to connect with the Union Pacific Rail- road, and the whole work is rapidly progressing. The road is being constructed in the very best man- ner, and the work will be hastened to completion with as much rapidity as is consistent with proper economy in its construction, It is believed that the road from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean wiil be compieted during the next year, that a bridge will be built over the Missouri river to connect your road with the Union Paciiic, thus making an unbroken line of railroad from the Atiantic to the Pacific. It may be confidently asserted that with the road com- pleted you will have, in proportion to its cost, one of the best railroad properties in the West.

To THe Eprtok OF THE HERALD It is announced in 4 railway journal that the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railway Company will hereafter transact, on their own account, all express business over their road. Thatsome reform of this kind i# urgently needed in the transmission of and charges upon goods by express companies is very plain to business men, A tacit agreement ex- ists among companies running to the saine point to charge the same prices. These are always as griev- ous as can be bourne, and there ts no ste or re- dreas—one must submit. If railways would do their own business instead of farming it out and allowing middlemen to make 4 profit out of their facilities they might be able to pay their stockhoiders a divi- dend once in @ while; further, there is no reason why the business of carrying passengers should not be Lol ey fs ae aoe Ly well as that of carrying goods, for if exp! st passenger could’ be made to if the charges were only h enough—say double what they are now. It is to be hoped that other roads will follow the baa po of the one alluded to and give people houest service for fair remuneration, which is very far from the case at present.

Its Composition and Disciptine. Forr Cotumsus, New York Mairor, August 24, 1803. To TH8 EpiToR oF THE HERALD:— My attention has been directed to an article under the caption of “The Ball and Chain,” pubiished in a weekly paper, which is conceived in so malicious a spirit of gratuitous insult to tae regular army of the United States, and which is characterized by so many perverted inferences and flagrant misstate- ments of fact, that it seems to call alike for some public refutation of its allegations and an expres- sion of the reprebeasion in which its wantoa and unjustifiable assault upon an honorable profession is held. ‘Phe article in question is ostensibly based unfortunate occurrence which tranapiied at Fort Hamilton, New York harbor, on the evening of August 3, at which time the prisoners of that post being sent under guard to refresh themselves with & bath, one of their number, who, 1n pursuance of sen- teuce pronounced by general court martial, was then wearlug a ball and chain, went beyond his depth and was drowned, Upon this circumstance (tragic enough, I admit) the journal tn question grounds a most ill-considered and yiolent assault upon the army at large. Alluding to the deceased, the article calls him “one of our country’s gallant defenders,” and asks “why a gallant soldier should wear such & degrading appendage to his leg as a ball and chain?’ but with curious intelicity it almost immediately proceeds to characterize the rank and file of the army as mainly “the very scum of our foreign population,’ *despel acdoes of the lowest class,” and to assert that * respectable American citizen would no more think of volunteering for what is called the regular army than he would volunteer for the penitentiary.” ‘To any mind less extraordinarily gifted than that of the writer of the article the terms thus confusedly mingled together would seem to be irreconcilable. Iisa very difticult matter to develop ‘a desperado of the lowest class” into a “gallant defender of our country.” That there are vile and wicked men among the rank and file of tne army is as unfor- tunately true as that among journalists there are persons whose hearts seeia dead to every instinct of candor and fairness; but this aifords no more jusNfl- cauon for wholesaie denunciation than docs the article under consideration warrant the conclusion that every newspaper writer 1s equally devoid of courtesy and honorable mindedness, ‘The inquiry which the journal makes as to “how it happens ‘that while any other employé of the United States, from the General of the army down to the humblest Custom House clerk, may resign his place Waenever he may think proper to do so, the enlisted soldier is denied that privilege, and punished if he attempts to exercise it,’ is childish in its pueriity. The writer could not have been ignorant’ of the fact that every soldyer who appiles for enlistment into the army of the United States must over his own Signature declare his desire to serve “honestly and faithfully”? during the specified term, uor that he 30 Subscribes a solemn oath tatt he will “observe the orders of the President of the United S, and the orders of the ofllecrs appointed over ceording to the rules and artic.es for the goy- ineat of tie armies of the United States.” This being the contract which the soldier, at lis own op- tiou and of is own Volition, makes, what adequate ven Why he sould not be held to its Vance tie sane as any other man who assumes an obligation is heid’to its fuiliiment ?

At this depot there isin existence a primary school and an advanced school for the instruction of en- listed men, which offer nearly equal advantages to those of similar institutions tn our towns and cities. From this latter school have graduated numbers of intelligent, thoughtful, earnest-mninded young men who have been distributed as non- commissioned officers throughout the army, and whose character and conduct reflect no less honor on their profession than shame upon thetr ra. ducers, while in addition to these facilities for the acqutsition of knowledge there is also at this depot a library numbering over five thousand volumes, comprising the most standard works in history, biography, pliilosophy, travel, scien and the peties lettres ‘Phewe stores of fufornation are gratuitously open to every soldier stationed at this post; and f have no doubt that could the writer of the article witness the keen avidity with witch these hooks are read and see for himself the studious scores of bronzed and bearded men who crowd the library during their letsure hours, he would have the grace to be heartily ashamed of himself for his most cruel and unjust rsions.
