Secretary Cuase’s Rerort.—A New
York letter of December 10th thus alludes
to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury:
The long agony of financial circles is
over, and the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury is at hand, It relieves the apprehensious of our most cautious bankers, who
feared Mr. Chase would recommend an unlimited issue of demand notes, the effect of
which would be as seen in the history of
French assignats, Continental money and
irredeemable bank money the world over,
to produce ultimately public distress. The
report happily relieves all apprehensions on
that score, as Mr. Chase evidently objects
to these demand notes as much as the bankers themselves, though all the speculators
in the country are iu favor of them, as the
the obvious tendency would be to give us
. glorious good times for six months or a year
ending up with a terrible smash when the
. day of settlementcame. The recommendation that he really makes, for the Government to furnish currency to the different
banking associations, rather puzzles financiers here, and was, no doubt, not intended
to be very definite, It is evident that so far
as Mr. Chase is concerned, the measures
of the various bills which he will urge for
the adoption of Congress, in relation to this
. matter, will be founded upon sound finan. cial principles, so that we shall leave as little as possible on the future. We shall
doubtless have all the advantages of a great
National Bank without many of its disadvantages. At least, the objection to the
old United States Bank, that it was an engine of political influence, will not be ap. plicable to the new method of remodeling
. the currency of the country.
. Tuk WAR AND Sitavery.—The St. Louis
. ee .
. News, of December 10th, bas the following
'
. very sensible remarks on the proposition
for a war of emancipation:
. The pain with which we have watched
. the attempt by radical partisans at the
.
North to make this great war for the Union
. a fierce and revengeful war for emancipa. tion, and the earnestness with which we
have endeavored to combat the scheme—
are not inspired by any sentimental love
for African slavery, nor by any sensitive
regard for the rights of the South, but by a
sincere love for the Union, and w desire to
prevent the intrusion into the struggle of
elements that will embarrass its friends and
. jeopard its existence. We desire to let slavery take care of itself—to leave it to circumstances. If it is to perish in the course
of this war, let it perish, and the conseqnences be upon the heads of those who imperiled it by the commencement of a wanton
revolt, But we would not bave its overthrow made an object of the war, because
. that would add to the difficulties and em. barrassments of the struggle, by uniting the
South and dividing the North, and renderjing the unltimate issue uncertain; and in

NUMBER 563.
The Union “Conspiracy” in Arkansas.
The Little Rock State Journal of the 29th
November, notices the arrival at that city
of twenty-seven prisoners, members of a
secret Lincola organization from Van Buren county. They were lodged in jail for
safe keeping until tried by the civil author:
ities. Forty others had been arrested, and
the names of the most of the members
learned. The Journal referring to the “‘conspiracy,’’ says :
It appears that information of this organ *
ization was given to Gen. Burgevin i. a
citizen of Van Buren county, and a volunteer in the Confederate service. The names
of the leaders are well known, and if those
who are in bot persuit of them ever succeed
in overtaking them, it wonld be well to acquaint them with some of the peculiar uses
of hemp.
We have been permitted to peruse the
constitution of this organization. Itisca}led a ‘Peace and Constitutional Society.’
They have 700 members in Searcy, Van Buran, Newton and Isard counties, and 1,700
in the whole State. They have a regalar
system of signs and passwords, and are furnished with supplies of money from the
Northern camps. The constitution makes
it vbligatory npon every member to hazard
bis life in aid of another in distress, and the
penalty of expressing any of the secrets of
the organization is death. Gen. Burgevin,
who was mustering in a regiment at Carrollia
ton, as soon as he heard of the conspiracy,
at once burried down to the counties above
named, to take such steps as might be necessary. At Clinton he saw Col. J.B. Lews, who assured him of the correctness of
the report. Col. Lewis had called out a
guard of 100 men, and was at that time
making arrests, and Gen. Burgevin, being
satisfied, from his well known energy o!
character and fearless nature, that the matter was in good hands,? feft the control of
. the whole affair to that officer.
. Col. Lewis reports that those alrsady
' taken were well supplied with arms and
; ammunition, and infers that those still at
. large are equally well equipped. Gen. Bur. gevin reports further to the authorities in
. reference to the disaffection of the people
. in that section, and gives the names of eertain individuals engaged in fomenting dis. content among them.
Those who have been taken acknowledg¢
their crime, plead nothing extenuating, but
only beg for their lives. Our authorities,
however, are fully informed upon the whole
subject, and we hope, if necessary, the extremest measures will be resorted to in order to suppress all treason, and secure to
the people immunity from civil war in their
midst,
Fortress Monrog.—Gov. lietcher, 1a,
ments the inability of Virginia to get possession of Fortress Monroe, Io his late
message he says:
. It is to be regretted that Fortress Monroc
is not in our possession; that it was not as
easily captured as the Navy Yard and Har

NAVIGATION OF THE AMERICAN, — The
Steamer Defiance, Captain Gibson, left the
levee on Saturday afternoon at two o’clock, .
. for an excursion up the American river.
. In consequence of the injuries received by
her collision with the Sacramento and Yolo
bridge she was not in good running order.
She passed Lisle’s bridge—carried away by
the recent flood—and reached a point be. low Norris’ bridge. While in sight of this
. structure it yielded to the force of the
. flood. and a portion of it was carried off.
. The Defianee took from various houses on
the river near Rabel’s tannery and Barnum’s slough some five women and fifteen
. children and brought them to the city. The
.
ence in military matters enabled him to
form an opinion as to the number of men
. that would be required to capture it. He
. represented it to be one of the strongest
fortifications in the world, and expressed
. hia doubts whether it could be taken unless
. assailed by water as wellas by land, and
. simultaneously. He etated emphatically
and distinctly, that with the force then in
. the fortress it would be useless to attempt
. ite capture without a large force, thoroughly
. equipped and well appointed. At no timc
. previous to the secession of Virginia had we
. a military organization sufficient to justify
an attempt to take it, and events since that
occurrence demonstrate very clearly that
with our military organization since, and
. now existing, it has not been deemed pru. dent to make the attempt. Defiance made another excursion up the
. American yesterday. Itis presumed that .
one object of these excursions is to look .
. out an elligible epot for an embarcadero— .
. @ second Hoboken—to which goods may be
. taken by steamer from this city and forward. the docket the case of Charles vs. the United
