The Peeling in New York. We learn from a gentleman (says th Charleston Courier, of the 15th instant, who left N- York on Tuesday of last week that the reaction of the commercial commu nity in that city, of which mention wa made in an extract published by us 01 Thurday from a private letter, has fairly se in, and threatens toembarras the action o the Lincoln Government very seriously, b; cutting off his financial resources. The Washington Administration is nov literally dependent upon loans, which mus be offered and taken up to au extent un precedented in our history, if the war a gainst the South is to be prosecuted. Th< customs revenue at the port of New York for the month of May, averaged a litth less than 820,000 per day, which Is equiva lent to an annnal inenme from that sourci of about S6,000,000?or less than ODe fourth of the income so received iu the die astrous year of 1858. The revenues of th< other United States ports, combined wit! that of New York, can hardly therefori put into the Treasury, in all the rest of th( year, the sum of $15,000,000. Mr. Cbasi has already it;mated his intention of askinj for a loan of $50,000,000 at the openinj of the session cf Congress, in addition t< the $14,000,000 now offered in Wall-street To this we must add that the States of thi North now aski.ig for separate State loam have come into rivalry with the Govern meut for not less than 821,000,000. Uoited States securities having decline: from 94 on March 22 to 85 ou May 24, an dow offering at 84, and it is the calculator of the most sagacious financiers that th< Secretary of the Treasury will not be abli to dispose of his next loan at rates abovi 75, if indeed he be not compelled to accep a lower figure still. Asthe actual expense of the Government, already incurred, wil reach by the 4th of July an amount of a least equal to the whole sum which can b< raised from the loanB already projected, i is Dot at all surprising that intelligent mei in New York, looking into the near future should begin to tremble at the financial pros pect before them. Private subscriptions for war purposes of which so ostentation-a parade was mad< after the 20th April, have dow already ceas ed. The sum of 850.000 being asked fo Parle in Mav. bv Mr. F. P. Blair, of St ?"J ? J 7 Loais, to equip a "Union regiment" ii Missouri, no more than $9,600 bad beei subscribed by the 4th of June, and of thi: sum by far the greater proportion had beei offered by members of the "Union Defenci Committee," Custom House officers, am other public functionaries. In explanatioi of the past "unanimity," as well as of thi coming "dissension" in the war sentimen of New York, it should be remembered tba between the 4th of March and the 20th o April, Mr. Lincoln's Government had as siduously devoted themselves, through th< vast Federal patronage of the New Yorl Custom House, Post Office, Sub-Treasur; and Navy Yard, to create a subservient ar my of opinion makers. The eighteen hundred policemen of tin city, appointed as Republicans under thi Albany Metropolitan Commissioners, wen also at the disposal of the Administration which further controlled no less than fou of the leading journals, all of which wen applicants in the persons of some of thei staff for Federal office. Under the pres sure of this tremendous organization, j "public sentiment" was|created immediate ly upon the receipt of the President's Proc lamafion, which swept everything befor it. Little persuaded of the unity of South em feeling, and anticipating a speedy re action against secession South, from ti) display of force by the Administration? the Commercial c- '.umuuity of New Yori bowed to the tempest of popular and parti sao clamor. The tempest has spent mos of its force; volunteers are returninc dissa? isfieu ind e.va-s ;rated to find their familie suffering aud their occupation pone, na ?? finauvw of the gre?.' it)' litis up its bead ; see into what a gulf it is rapidiy drifting The return of the Seventh Retiimeut ba contributed rota little to effect pablie opit ion unfavorably to the policy of the Gov emuieDt. The laboring classes not unnatu rally begin to complain that the "gentle men soldiers" decoyed them iuto servic for the war, and then quietly withdrew and left them to bear the brunt of the busi ness. However UDjust this feeling may be it exists, and isexertiDg a silent butpowei ful influence in favor of returning commo sense. Later from Missouri?The Invaders t be Driven Out. St. Louis, June 14 ?W. 0. Barret, brother of the late mem^c-of Congress froi this District, has been arrested on a char^ of treason. Other prominent citizens ai implicated. The Federal troops are bein distributed through the State. Three stean ers are now at the arsenal, taking on boar troop3 destined for Jefferson City. Tb bridge over the"Osage River, on the Pacifi Railroad, eight miles East of Jefferson Cit) has been burnt. Governor Jackson has issued the follov ing proclamation : Outrages of an udIooI ed for and unparalleled character have hue inflicted on the peace and dignity of th commonwealth, and upon the rights an liberties of its people, by wicked and ui principled men, professing to act under tt authority of the Federal Government. Tt solemn enactments of your Legislature hav been nullified, your volunteer soldiers hav been arrested, commerce with our sistt States suppressed, trade with your own fe low citizens made subject to the harrassin control of armed soldiers, peaceful citizer imprisoned without warrant, unoffenclin and defenceless men, women and childre ruthlessly shot down and murdered, an I other unbearable indignities heamd upo your State and yourselves. To alt this jo have submitted with a patriotic forbearant which has only encouraged more darir usurpations. My object has been to pr serve peace and avert war from our border With that view, Gen.

If nece?ary to cany out toe piedgc.", I would call fur the arSistauce the Federal authorities. Nothing but f e desire to avert the horrors of civil war coulc ) have induced roe to make such hmniliatiop , propositions. These propositions were re - jected, aod I now call for 50,000 militia tc s repel these invaders. 3 Mitl - t The Situation of Affairs, f An important change in the position ol j the forces about Washington is to take place this morning. Six regiments received F orders last night to move by railroad tot wards Frederick, Md., including the third, fourth and fifth battalions of the District ol Columbia militia, and the Rhode Island regiment. Their destination is believed tc be Harper's Ferry, and the move is probab ly made upon sudden information received by Gen. Scott from that quarter. The R Island regiment was to break camp at mid uight and proceed by railroad early thit rooming. Their marine batttery, with gum uolimbered and loaded, together with the artillery and staff horses, were put on the cars at six o'clock last evening. The other regiments moving are the 1st ? Connecticut, 1st Rhode Island, 1st Nev t Hampshire, 1st Maine, 5th New York, 9th ? New York and 19th Aubnrn Regiments r, j These will go by turnpike roads to Poiol 1.1 of Rocks. Genera! McClellnod will move a j from the West with fifteen or twenty thou j |sand men, by way of Winchester, end Gen j Patterson, with twelve thousand, by way ol | Haperstowu. The order to close up on the jj rebels at Harper's Ferry on all eidee will U rioon fo!!->w. and they will be corapi'stel} j hemmed 10. K We have highly important intelliir; nc< i. from Virginia relativo to the contemplutsc t military policy of the rebel forceB. It ap t pears that Jefferson Davis, Gen. Beaure s gard and Gen Gee had been in consultatiot 1 at Richmond for several days, during whicl t they wero in constant communication bj ? couriers with Gen. Johnson, commanding t at Harper's Ferry. Gen. Lee was eayerli 3 in favor of aggressive action. He made i f statement in detail, showiog that then . were 147,000 troops at different points it Virginia, and that 10t000 men in Nortl } Carolina were ready to march to any poin ? in Virginia that their presence might b< . required. He advised an immediate attacl r on Washington and Alexandria, by thre< corps d'armee of 25,000 men each, fron 3 Richmond, Lynchburg, Mauassas Junction 3 Fredericksburg; Petersburg and Culpep s per, and further urged an advance move 3 ment from Harper's Ferry on the Ohio ant e Pennsylvania troops. His views, however 1 did not prevail with the other Generals 3 and it was finally decided by Gen. Davii ? and coincided by Beauregard, to act entire t ly on the defensive, and that no troops wen t to cross the Potomac in aDy event. Har f per's Ferry is to be held or abandoned ai , circumstances may demand. The line o 3 railroad from Manassas Gap to Acquis j Creek is to be the first basis of military ope j rations, and will be defended by a force o . 35,000 men, to be strengthened by an addi tion of 15,000 more if necessary.?Ar. 1 e Ilcrald, June 10. Military Signals. The boasted discovery of a system of rail r itary signals is not new, as will be seet e from the following extract from Alexandei r Joues' History of Electric Telegraphs, pag< " 1125. In alluding to the system of visua 1 I telegraphing between New York aud Phil adelphia by associations of stock broker: aud lottery dealers, it remarks as follows "Their plan was to station men on emi nences at every six or eight miles, wit! ^ telescopes in their hands. They were alsi _ | provided with flags. At the first call o ^ stocks, at 11 o'clock, in the Board of Bro ! kers at the Merchants' Exchange, the price J at wh ch the stocks chiefly dealt in sold a : would be given to the flag man on top o ' | the Exchange, who would communicate tht ^quotations to another flagman in Jerse; |\hty, or on *op of Bergen Hill, and he t.i ' toe next, antii Piiilade'phia was reached 'i'ne sulo in Philadelphia would read | New York by a .similar method. The or der in which they were sent indicated *ha [ stocks w(- e referred to. "The flag was attached to the end of i small stick held in either hand. All tin figures could be represented by the posi ' tion in which the flag was held or moved Thus, if the flag was held at right angles t 1 the body, it might indicate a second figure Q Other figures could be represented by chan ging the flag to the left hand, and varyioj the motions accordingly. When held per o pendicularly over the head, it might nueai that the market geuerally was up; am a | when held down at a sharp angle to th ! body, it might indicate the reverse. Hal ,e 11 evolutions to the right would give hal e j numbers; the same to the left, quarters gjand over the head, eighths, j. "It was said that the uews by this pla j; could be transmitted in about thirty mit ,e utes. The chief originator and superic ic teodentof the scheme was said to be a br< . ker in Philadelphia, who retired with | fortune. Lottery dealers also contribute t F.i sustain that or a similar line, for the pui j.lpose of transmitting the drawn numbers i ,0 successful tickets. Some wealthy man i \s Jersey City, at one time extensively engi |(j ged in lotteries, it is said, derived importat advantages from this kind of visual tel ie graph." lc It is clear that similar signals can be af ,e plied to military purposes over a large ei .e tent of country. :r Receiving Volunteers.?From th subjoined, clipped from the Augusta Chm r iclt of Saturday, it would appear that th 18 President of the Confederate States wi ^ accept armed volunteers from a State wilt ! out application to the Governor of the State j "A dispatch was received in this city | few days since, for a geutleman in a neigl boring couuty, from a member of the Cab 'vjoet, saying that the Government wouid at '^jceptall volunteers who offer their server I (limt to the President, provided they .a j armed with common shot guus and rifle: ! but they are not to leate the State wit .

" | Printer's Dollars are scat( | tered all round the country. In order f i that they may be gathered, we invite the prayerful attention of our readers to the following artice from an ex0 i change: )j. The printer's dollars! Where are they ? A dollar here and a dollar there, scattered over numerous small towns all over the country, miles apart?how shall they be gathered to gather? The type founder has his hundreds of dollars against the printer ; the paper maker, ]' the building owner, the journeyman comrmsitor. the grocer. the tailor and all I . 7 o t ' > assistance to him in carrying on his e business, have their demands hardly ever so small as a single dollar. But e the mites from here and there must be II dil gently gathered arid patiently hoarded, or the wherewith to discharge the ; large bills will never become bulky. a We imagine the printer will have to get i. up an address to his widely-scattered j. dollars something like the following: "Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, and >s and all manner of functions in to which e you are divided, collect yourselves and s come home. Ye are wanted! Com hiI y h i nations of all sorts of men, that help uic s I printer to become a proprietor, gather; ... J in such force and demand with good 1 "eason your appearance at 'his counter, l.iiiiat nothing less than a sight at you , I will appease wiem. Collect yourselves, , ;for valuable as vo" >re in toe aggregate, sitigiy vouwili never pay the cost of gathering. Come in herein silent, r j single file, that the printer may form r! in battalion, and send you forth again j > battle fo him and to vindicate his. o- credit." Reader, arc you sure you t'? I haven't a couple of the printer's dollars ' sticking about your clothes? ? us Affai?.> at Norfolk.?The Norfolk f n- correspondent of 'he Richmond Examiner ' writes: Tiio work of raising tho sunken vessels at the Navy Yard has proved more 1 difficult thau was anticipated ; indeed, ap- g prehensions exist that the raising of the p Plymouth cannot br accomplished. It is b some consolation to state, however, that c the Gcrmantown, sloop-of-war, and the u Dolphin, brig, will be gotten up. With b respect to the fine steamer Mcrrimac, al n ready docked, the decision is to cover with d iron and convert her into a floating battery, t rhe experiences at Sumter, and the further a fact that Fortress Monroe must be in our s possession by September, explains th's de- a termination. v President Davis could, by no single fea- c ture of policy, more effectually promote f Confederate interests than by issuing orders for the Commandant at the Navy Yard a here to furnish cannon for privateers. A s number of ships would at once enter the service if their owners could secure a propirarmament. Several steamers of light draught, but fj substantial, will leave here this week for : he coast of North Carolina. They have } oeen strengthened, armed, manned, and 1 will render good service. 1 ?

March 18 112 3m PIE "PORTFOLIO."?AT THIS particular time, when we have severed every political lie.whlch bound us In vassalage to an arrogant and oppressive North ; when we have plucked our stars from tilt* hateful and contaminating atmosphere of fanaticism, and placed tlicui in the clear bin-: of our own Southern sky, that they may shine encircled with a halo of truth, adorning our own bright sunny bum with tnelr glorious lustre; when we have erected a new Republic, declared our independence to the world, it peculiarly becomes us as a pcrplc, to withdraw that patronage, hitherto so liberally bestow< u upon those who iiave proven themselves our worst enemies, and extend a helping hand to those "to the manor born," who are true to aur institutions, true to our principles, and to our native borne; we should throw otf all shackles that bold us In any wise dependent upon a section whose creed Is Inimical to d lr dearest rights; and whose people we can no longer contemplate with the pure and holy love of brotherhood. The intelligence of a people Is ever estimated by the character oftheir literature. We have intellects which will pale before nnne! Authors, whose graceful pens drop Inklets of gold, and strew shining pearls of thought. Let us, then, turn our faces from the North, and seek literature for old and young within our own borders?establish literary enterprises of our own, and foster and maintain them. Be-, lleviug that It is the desire, nay Intention, of our people to do this, we propose to establish a SOUTHERN JUVENILE PERIODICAL, lliand creby fill a vacuum, which has existed since the demise, years ago, of the sweet little "Rose Bud." We, therefore, confidently appeal to nil to aid In establishing tlic enterprise upon a firm and substantial hash*. Believing that we appeal not In vain, we iOtail at the first, or during the month of May, commence the issue of "THE PORTFOLIO," a monthly periodical, devoted to "Truth, Virtu* and Temperance;" which shall not only become an agreeable and amusing companion fur the young, but, by the observance of a high moral tone, seek to Instruct the rising mind, and teach the youthful heart. As far as we are able, wo will make it Interesting to all. Many of our most gitted writers, both of prose and1 verse, nave kindly consented to assist in making THE PORTFOLIO rich with spaikllnggems?the Southern asphodels of .nought. Oi tho-e who nnvetiius vouchsafed their aid, we .rc permitted to name our esteemed poet friend, JAMES WOOL DAVIDSON', Lev. C. P. GADSDEN, Rev. J. R. .vENDRICK. ED W.N HEKRiOT, Da. A. L. HAMMOND, 11.
