Tho tendunoy of govornment eecurltles In tho linrned;a;e fulure Is in favor of a riso. All the g Id bearing bonds may bo exp'-cicd to nd'. auce 2Ji a 3 per cent during the mor Hi, Hnd stih crlpiions to tho seven-thirty loan will bo oorrasponulngly Improved ; but wo advise tlio withdrawal of this loan as koon as a purely currency loun can be xutetltuted, ai- it U Indirectly a gold bearing one, and tho gold bearing debt in already too large in the present state of tho currency. Allowing fur the pmbnblo pubsc' Ijitions to tho l?wn nt Boston, I'l llndclphla and elsewhere It Is likely that rtboii: fifty live mllll'inH of the ten-forty loan only rem du untakcu, which portion Is now cancelled. The money market has been very stringent, and la likely to conti me mixlorately ;.o for some days to como, Although the dr; la westward may be ' or.sldored over, and the rotum flow has already purtiaily s>'t In. After the middle of tho mouth, however, an easier utoney market may be looked for. Tbo rate tor chII lot us has been strictly seven per cent and for first class couuucrLi.il paper eight to eleven. The fo rt i iii exchange market hu been quiet under the moderate Importations mid Improved exports, and rates have tended aomcwliat In favor of buyers. This feature lii likely to ber ime tnuoh more marked with the opening up of Uie Southern country to trade, whilo the recent capture of the nocks of cotton hoarded at Savannah and other places will before long exert an active Influence upon the cotton and exctiango markets hero and In Ku rope, Mill produce a drain of spccle from the Old World in our favor. Probably the cotton stored at Savannah alone will glvo a million of pounds sterling to this country.

" Now, we deny the truth of thla. The two system*- differ as much as chalk doe.*-- from cliewo. Tlie one? that of the SUi'e? is based upon S[>ecla, and tho otiior upon paper Article eight, section Ave, of the State constitution pre ides that "the Legislature shall have no power to pans any law sanctioning in any tnannef, direc tly or tudir otly, the sttspctudon of specie faymenta by nny pemn. ?s?oc1atlon or corporation issu ing baalt noted of a:. y des ripti u."

If we may believe the reports which reach us tr m (lie Pepertmsat of the Oulf and elsewhere, tbe Treasury re gulattons ft>r trading with the rebols art prartlnellv in coulln-t with die military e.iaonty along the war line. Tli.s is probably taof* owing lo jealou*> aud misunder standing between the military and civil oflcers of the goven.mout In the Hoiirh tuan anyth.ng m >ro sellouts, although tho Bu!lu>iy authoruieo ciuiui that tho reg ilatu.rui in effnct afford aid aud comfort to tbe enemy, both by furnlahlng the rebellion with funds nad putting the rebel authorluoe In possession of iufarmvioa respecting our Intended military movements. The attitude a.wu mod by General Cauby at New (means, under the authority of tbe mili tary regulations of the department, almost suspends the action of tbe Treasury amenta In that quarter, and makes the trade regulation* Inoperative. Mr. Fessenden will, therefore, have to reconcile the existing antagonisms by consultation with tbe War Deportment. Ttie Tn?a aury regulations should, meanwhile, be carried Into effect aa far as compatible wlih tho interests of the pubilo service. The flctltioua prosperity which has characterized oar community since the papur rnouoy Inflation began Is ln dioatod In the recent returns of th so commercial snare*, the commercial agencies. The number of failure in 1864 was only Ave hundred and ten, whereas the number in 1861 was no less than five thousand nltio bun dred and thirty live? the aggregate liabilities of these being $178,682,170 iu 1861, and only $8,570,700 In 1864. Th? check to the trade of the North consequent upon tbe outbreak of the war was great, and, to many, disatarous, as lhe.se figures sufficiently indicate. The currency Infla tion subsequently relieved the pressure ; but the termina tion of the war, or, at loast the resumption of specie payment, wbother It takes place before or after that event, will cause a far greater Hhock and many moro bankruptcies tbun the year 1861 witnessed; for, with con traction, tending towards a healthy basis, will como col lapse where the expansion Is greatest.

BABAH P. KD60N, Chief, Masonic Mission. The Fur Trade. [From tho Si. Paul (Minn.) Press.] While the amount paid lorfuis the post year by our dealers probably exceeds that of any previous your, tho mitnbor of skins bought shows a conslaeraolo filling off. Tuls Is partially accounted for by tbe fact that the -Red rlvor curts di<> not bring down their usual qnantltics, as the fifteen per cent duty Imposed by Congress caused them to sell to the Hudson's Bay Company Instead. Their total sales here amounted to about $60,000. one half of which was in robea Their shipments through hero amounted to about us much more, making an aggregute of $100, UUO worth which they brought down. The price of mink has riwn from $2 por skin in 1858 to |4 60 aud $6 60 in 1804; aud fox skins havo gone up from $1 60 to $4 60.

Although appals have hither;? been made to olt>tens?a correct thi? enrolment, them has been .'uje or no ais'Mis ilea shown by the puhlio to dlschtirge lta duly ti? thl?J>^rUculnr. It Is evident tliat this duty must l>e perlormeu by the pna llo authorities, or It will not be performed at all Ry consent of the War D partmeul and the advloe or tM Oovernor, the New York Couiity Co in in It tee on YoluutcerlaJ haa determined to undertake the herculean labor of corns ? Ing the enrolment of tlie county. No means will be spared to make this correction thorough and satisfactory both lo tlie people and the government. Our only object la to correct tlie enrolment and plaea It M a proper standard, and every eltlz m owes it alike to bimatH aud his neighbor to assist In thla work. In addition to other means which will be brought Into n* quisltlon for the accomplishment of this object, a complete eo' V of tbe existing enrolment of each ward or election o!? trieiwillbe printed and furnUhed to every enrolled oHllta of tbe ward or election district This will prevent the cxcute which to many wha an exempt hare made lbs t they did not know they were enrolML and hence did not attend to having their namet taken flaaa the rolL It will also afford the opportunity for every man enrolled te Bee whether or not Us neighbor is enrolled, and rnable Ma to secure that those liable and not eur. llod shall ha pm down. Every person enrolled la requested to aid In the gifnanMl labor which we hare undertaken, by complying with the hi lowing conditions:? I. Wh< auver a name appeart of any person who it net en rolled, but liable, notice of the fact should be glfen to ta# Provost Marshal of tlie district by any person who may h* cognizant of the fact, in order that the same may be ooraea. II. Whenever a nnm? appears of sny person who haa r? moved, notice of the fuel should be given nt the Prorow Marsh ill's oflloe, that the Mint may be etrlrken from (be I?i of that district end recorded where it Property beting*. III. Whenever a name appear* which In known to be M? tlous, or any one U aware that the person Indicated U no* a resident as dcfcrlh d. nolloo should be clvrn at tho Pwool Marshal's olHre. that the nuine may be stricken from the reft IV. Whenever c*u? of exemption exists, for, any reasoa. notice should Ue giv.n to Urn rrovoet Marshal of toe dlstrua by the exempt person himself, that the name me/ be Mhmum from the roll. The following are the causes of exemptions? 1. Over forty-live years of age. 2. voder tw?rty years of uge. 3. Being an alien and never baring voted. 4. Having 1 urnUhed a substitute In anticipation tf m0 draft. 6. Having been drafted and furnished a substitute. 6. Having been drafted and pit l<l oiinmuUilo.t. 7. Having be< n drafted and received a oertilioate of pwve> nent physical dbabllltv. H. Being pi-riaai.Aiitfy physically I'squallfled. 9. Having served two years In Die army or navy daik| the pre?c ;t w ir and been hooerubly lleolutrgad. In audition to this, so far as possible, oveiy unrolled nua will be w>t!ted upon person. illy by aiill.oriiett ii^ents, depu'ea to ascer'ntn the liability of aU enrolled ni"n, to hnvclhost Impropeilv enrolled UKen on, and to add those not on, bnl who sliouf<1 be enrolled. As ti ls Is en effort to correct and not Increase tbe earA ment, tt Is to the li tores*, of every ??erton to five correct sad true answers to ntiy snd sll questions whinh Dmy be put tw Ihem, mid all persons declining io i>iisv e> , or go ug filao answers, render themselves liable to arrest and Imprison ment. Tbls Is probably the l&al attempt which will be made to ate cure a correct enrolment of theconntyof NrwYn-k. Tela successful, the cooperation of every i eelUcnt of tbls city sal county I* absolutely required. Tbe government oiliclals here evinced a disposition Jf afford us every facility to attain the ob'ect In view. I( therefore, through the lndl?p<?illon and apathy of tbe puK 11c, who are mo.nt roTicei ne<l, this effort to oorrect tbw enrolment prove ubortlve, and further ex? csslvc onol^s siw demanded of as, because of the liieorteetncse of tne e^ret raer.t, the people of this cuy and county will bo WraNMHP responsible, and they will have none but Uisicueltee m C.
