Tho Upper Misstsstppl, Between Lakes Cass and Winnibicoshish. A Moonlight Sail on Winnibicoshish—Its Shape— Incidents of the Trip—‘Breakers Ahead’— Resting at Night in a Deserted Trading Post—What tho Bible is Worth in the “Noble Red Man's” Country. Canor Donny Varnes, } Lare WInnivicosuisn, June 19, 1872. That part of the Upper Mississippi between Lakes Gass and Winnibicoshish will always be remem-' bered as a sequence of beautiful villa sites, The ground rises ina gentle slope from tie river to a height of about forty feet, giving place to a level plateau. A sod of exceeding smootiness and regu- larity is found under foot, and overhead the fn- terlocking branches of a forest of Norway pines form a coverings from the sun, At every berid in the river, and it is quite as tortuous here as elsewhere, the tine of beauty assumes a mew curve in the sloping hillside, and the pro- Jecting headland takes another variation of the hyperbola. Not one particle of un- dergrowth, neither brush, scrub oak nor ‘weeds, was to be seen, At many places at which landings were made the crew would have desired to go into camp, but he knew that if the moonlight sail on Lake Winnibicoshish was to be enjoyed the voyage must be continued. Tho imaginings and ennut which such rural surroundings inspire were shaken off and the regular dip of the Dolly’s paddle propelled her onward toward NEW SCENES AND NEW ADVENTURES. When within about three miles of the greatest fake in the direct channel of the Mississippi the fwoodiand ceases and a wide-spreading meadow takesits place. Going ashore at the last headland the waters of the great lake could be seen in the twilight ahead to tlie eastward. The wind- ings of the river through tho tall grass were most tedious and perplexing—there ts no means of estimating the amount of land which might have ‘been saved for the encouragement 0! a pastoral life had the river been straight. The grass 1s about One foot in hetght, and of a pale green color. ‘Tho sun had gone down long before, and the lake was not reached until nino o'clock. As we cmerged from the mouth of the river on to the broad bosom of Lake Winntbicoshish the moon—nearly at the full—shone out clearly, and the dark water took a silvery hue at the point at which the pale streak of moontight came acrowa the surface toward us, Brae een 200 night; @ light wind began to yw from tle westward and soon raised a alight ret The mast and sail were soon rigged, and he Dolly sped onward the northeast. THO LAKE APTRR NIGHTFALL, The shore was soon lost to view, and the ro- poet of navigating a strange lake after night gan to wear off as the wind grew cooler with ese gust. © map had been carefully studted luring the day, and it had been decided to make a nding at the mouth of an inlot beyond a point of and which projects into the lake from the north- rest. The Dolly had been steered northeast, but he shape of the lake was so différent froma that laid down in the map that her crew was astonished on feeing rising suddenly to the east-northeast a Figantio tree which made a very dark spot against sky. Thinking that this must be an island, the © course was maintained until the roar of reakers alicad was heard. It was then dis- covered that a reef ran out toward the goutheast from the western shore fully two Miles into the lake, and that the tree was situated @t the further extremity. The canoe was at once at about and the crew, with an anxious heart, ttempted to round the point close-hanied, Reeds ere goon encountered, first occasionally, then me quently, and the navigator became’ satis- that the dangers were toomanuy to be risked, It only the WORK OP A MOMENT #6 take in the sail, and thc “Dolly” vegan her trip ¥. windward under paddle. aad pulling entire! lear of the weeds the headland was passed an the sail again spread, The ange Pay ied gteered straight for the mainian: 6 dar!

A DOUBTFUL BANK STATEMENT. New Yorg, August 4, 1872. THR FRATURES on the street during the week were gold and Erie. In the case of the former the premium advanced to 11534, with sales reported at 1153;, although not recorded. The upward tendency of the gold pre- mium ts being generally recognized on the strect, and the halting manner in Which this movement progresses is due to the closing out of the short interest, which leaves the market without that speculative support that might occasion excite- ment. The heavy customs receipts during the week, owing to the application of the new tari, with its ten per cent reduction, which went into effect on August 1, helps to harden gold. These receipts are placed at $4,886,000. This is the largest income in one,week which the United States has ever received through the Oustom House, and, al- thongh exceptional, shows that a reduced tariff would not seriously impair, if it did not improve, THE GOLD REVENUE OF THE TREASURY. The upward tendency of the gold market con- tinues to be exhibited strongly, and contains in itself an instructive problem. Why gold should go up isa question the people are anxfously asking, but to any one who has watched the course of our foreign exchanges and the domestto policy which has governed the administration of our national finances the solution is easy. We are borrowers not only individually, but beggars in our aggregate autonomy. The Secretary’s experiment of paying of prematurely a large portion of the national debt has not resulted successfully. The capitalists of Europe recognize fully that this was but a strained effort, and amounted simply to DISCOUNTING THE FUTURR CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES, Tt ts tho business of these men to make them- selves acquainted with the resources of any country that may come to them to borrow money. They, of course, saw in this rapid payment of the American debt that the industrial, and in fact the whole busi- Dess intercsts of this country were being seriously impaired, To use a fpmillar igure, the Secretary was merely “robbing Peter to pay Paul; that is, he was absorbing the capital of the country in an extravagant effort to pay off our national debt, which capital, if allowed to remain in circulation, would have much more largeiy reduced the burden of that debt upon the nation at large. The error of his policy is shown in THE WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF THE FRENCH LOAN, which forms another interesting item in the Jnan- cial history of the past week. Why this loan should have been co successful has already in part been pointed out here. But there are deeper les- sons for our future Secretaries of the Treasury, as well as for our people, to be learned therefrom. France in all its varied history, its numerous revo- lutions and bitter hostilities, has never repudiated or sought to repudiate, or suggested the repudia_ tion of a single franc of indebtedness contracted by any administration. The government of a day might make a loan, but the government succeeding endorsed the financial obligation no matter what the political animosity might have been. Here the repudiation hus not only occurred, but is again actively agitated, Without entering into the jus- tice of thegmatter, but looking at it as purely A QUBSTION OF POLICY, it 18 worth while at this time to draw attention to the fact that an annulment of the contracts en- tered into by the carpet-bag governments down South is likely to form an important issue in this Presidential campaign. Georgia hes led the van in boldly recommending this repudiation. North Caro- lina (if it be true, as reported, that it has gone democratic), loaded down with an enormous weight of indebtedness, from which the State has bene- fited nothing, is likely to follow, if it were only from that spirit of resistance which makes even cowards, when they are trampled upon, rise and stab their assailants. South Carolina, equally occu- pled by A CARPET-BAG ADMINISTRATION and saddled with enormous obligations, will not be long in falling into line. Louisiana comes next. Trampled upon for years and burdened with debts the people of the State never contracted, will not be slow to relieve herself by adopting the prece- dents of her sister States similarly situated. Thos isour credit aifected, and #0 must it continue to be until a reunited nation and a recognition of the rights of all citizens shall restore that republican form of government promised inthe constitution, which, as.anexperiment in France, to-day has made that republic the most #uccessful borrower of the nations. THE CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATS. During the present lauded successful administra- tion of the finances of the country we have been frequently tdid that we have reached a financial millenium to which no other country could expect twattain. The following suggestive figures show how we stand at the present date, or atleast at the time of the last official report—August 1:— R.

They are taken from the oficial statement of the public debt of the United States, issued from the Treasury Department and signed by William A. Richardson, Acting Secretary of tho Treasury. Par parenthese tt may bo said that no announcement hag been made of the Seorctary hay- ing been granted a leave of absence. In connection with the figures given above it has to be said that no account ts there taken of THE AMOUNT DUK FOR SALARIES to the various people in the employ of the United States, including the army and navy, the larger army of civil ard uncivil servants, tho men em- ployed on fortifications, and, in fact, the cntire lente of our present President. The sum duo these being taken into account it would doubtless be found that the government of the United States 18 pauperized to-day. This condition of things ex- plains the diMiculty we had In fonding our five per cent loan and the existence of the Syndicate. FEATURES OF THR SYOOR MARTET. In the stock market the principal intorest is centred in Erle, which, owing to tho nge in tho administration, has pecullarly attracted the at- tention of the street. The sudden drop on tho other side, which occurred in the middle of the week, was quickly apprehended as being the result of an effort gn the part of the great Rnrtish bank- ing house which has engincered this entire move- ment to call in their loans upon Uo stock they voted upon, It 1s also stated that they are not satisfied with the manner in which the Atlantic and Great Western interest has been treated by THE NRW ERIE MANAGEMENT, although the returns show that whiie the Erte Rail- road receipts have fallen off during the last month those of the Atlantic and Great Western have inoreased. The difMculty {s a mixed one, and = cannot bo = clearly = describéa at present. In seeking the treasurer of tho Erlo Railroad one passes under a sign reading “Office of the Atlantic and Great West- ern,” Do the receipts go the same way ? is a ques- tion the stockholders aro likely to ask. It is said the new managoment are not entirely agreed upon this new departure of Erle, and that TAR GREAT ANGLO-AMBRICAN RAILROAD REPORMER is proportionately diagnsted at finding himself checked, It is hinted that this has liad some effect in causing the selling movement on tie other side which was reflected here during the week. LAKE SHORE. The last instalment on Lake Shore and Michigan Southorn scrip was paid August 1 and stock cer- tificates issued therefor, thus leaving the full patd capital $49,000,009, This scrip and that of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, which was converted into full patd stock July 10, will always have a historical ioterest, aa representing twoof the greatest atock “wetering” operations that have been accomplished in this country. The other stocks that showed any activity were Pacific Mail, Union Pacific, North West and C. C. andi.C. Pacifle Mail yesterday declined to 73, but rallied again and closed firmer. An active move- ment in this stock is looked for. The general lst otherwise was without particular interest. THE BANK STATEMENT for the past week shows a loss in the specie aver- age of $4,572,800 and a gain in the legal tenders of $1,299,800. The loans are down $291,300 and the de- posits $3,534,769, There has been a loss in the total reserve of $3,273,000 and a reduction in the total Habilities of $3,547,600, The banks now hold in what they reckon as lawful money—to wit, gold, legal tender, and three per cent certificates— $11,761,300 above the legal requirement, against $14,147,425 last week. The following is a compari- son of the bank averages for the past week: July 21, August 3. — Diferences. $25,423,200 Inc. $201,300 23,925,900 Dec, 4,572,800 a 12,800 ion.

The result of the North Carolina election, however, is looked upon as a bear influence. THE MONEY MARKET shows a hardening tendency, partly the result of the upward movement in gold and partly growing out of the disturbance in domestic exchanges, looked for from the heavy movements in Imported goods during the last week, The heavy cus- toms receipts, amounting to over four mil- lion dollars, represent @ very large amount of merchandise, which must be distributed. This will cause the movement of considerable currency not only to pay railroad and freight charges, but because of the maturity of obligations amongst small dealers in the country, GOLD DURING THE WEEK.

FORBIGN BXCHANGE EASY, Under the influence of borrowed bills the foreign exchange market during the week was easy and heavy, while the demand for gold from the im- porters, occasioned by their occupation in taking goods out of bond, interrupted business, With a high gold market this week is likely to show more activity.
