which at times resembled the fall of hail, seems for the most part to have fallen hurtess into to the ramparts of solid earth. About three thousand wounded are to be found in the hospitals. About four hundred and fifty have been buried by the rebels. Among the principal sufferers are General Green, who was killed, General Baldwin wounded, Colonel Erwin killed, Major Hoadley killed, Lieutenant-Colonel Griffin killed. Of the citizens, Mike Donovan wounded, and the following ladies: Mrs. Cisco killed, Mrs. C. W. Peters killed, Mrs. Major T. B. Reed, Mrs. W. S. Hazard, Mrs. W. H. Clements, Miss Lucy Rawlings, and Miss Ellen Canovan wounded, and Miss Holly killed. A child of Mrs. Jones's was killed by a shell while sitting in the entrance of the cave. One of the most wonderful things of the siege is the fact that ladies, following the ex. ample of the men, have actually promenaded the streets in numbers during the bombardment, priding themselves on their ability to dodge the she

rson Smith, carried and executed my orders, under all circumstances, with coolness and judgment. My especial thanks are also due to .C. S. Cadet Joseph C. Haskell, of South Carolina, who volunteered me his services, and rendered me indispensable assistance in the supervision of so extensive a command. I beg leave to recommend him to the War Department for promotion. Lieutenants Gillen, Wilson, Burroughs, Terrill, and Woolfolk, are mentioned in high terms by their captains, as are also Sergeant Cisco, of Moody's, and Private England, of Woolfolk's battery. The latter, unfortunately, was killed. I was personally impressed with the bearing of Lieutenant J. Donnell Smith, of Jordan's battery, commanding a section in the attack on the evening of the thirteenth. Corporal Lockwood, of his company, a most gallant soldier, whom I also noticed particularly, was wounded, I fear mortally, in the night attack. Our entire loss was one killed, ten wounded, and fifteen horses. One thousand and

Florida returning U. S. Funds. --Mr.Cisco, the Assistant Treasurer of the U. States, at New York, has received notice from the Sub-Treasurer at Charleston, Southern Confederacy, that he had sent by Adams & Co. the balance remaining in his hands, to the credit of the Collector of Key West.

Railroad stocks are equally depressed, and a general feeling of stagnation is the evident feature of the entire market. At the second board, yesterday, the stock market underwent as fearful a panic as the army did the day previous. The falranged from 4 to 5 per cent. Mr. Chase has sent along a request for another five million dollars loan for sixty days.--Mr. Cisco has half of it, but, since the news of the battle of Manassas, it comes in slowly Our business men begin to see that fighting is not going to save the Union. In fact, we should think it is about time they saw that fighting is just the way to forever destroy it. Will not our merchants and business men now awaken from the delusion which the in famous organs of disunion in our midst have imposed upon them? Will they not see that they are just as surely sealing the fate of New York, by this

e led, unprepared, into battle. The same sort of untoward influence still exists, and will hamper any commander, or council of war, or Cabinet. The President, it is true, did not undertake to warp General Scott's judgment, but it is not doubted that the Cabinet did. Congress vigorously and almost unanimously seconds the efforts of the Administration and of the State authorities to retrieve the disaster. The money market in New York was much depressed by the panic of Monday, and Mr. Cisco withdrew, for the time, the application for another temporary loan for the treasury of five millions. Most of it had been offered, however. The Confederates probably lost as many on the field last Sunday as the Federal forces.--But that loss, however great, cannot be set off, in the eves of the world, against the moral loss of the Federal side. Yesterday the Liverpool mail packet took out the New York papers with the details of the defeat and fight of the Federal army of invasion, a

Wall street to fear that we could find no escape from our present dilemma except in an unexpected prolongation of the war for years instead of months or in a speedy and permanent dissolution of this Union. In the midst of this gloomy distrust, Mr. Cisco's offer to receive gold on deposit for the Government at four per cent. interest, frightened our bankers, and the fluttering began. We do not see why this excitement will not continue, and gold — and consequently stocks — rise still higher. The causes remain the same, and what should alter the result? Mr. Cisco must obtain gold in order to pay the specie interest upon Government paper; and, whether he receives gold on deposit or goes into the market and buys it outright, the rise in gold will ensue all the same.--Neither will it be possible for him to refuse any deposits over six millions; for upon such a refusal the gold already deposited with him would be immediately withdrawn. Thus the occasion of the excitement must remai

eanwhile passing underneath exploded directly under him, sending him sprawling into the air like a big toad, and never injured him in the least. A great many incidents of this kind occurred, some of which will probably never find their way into public print. One lady was cooking her dinner when a shell went into the pot, smashing the stove into splinters and tearing up the house, without injury to any one in it. The following persons were killed: Mr. Groome, Mr. Conner, Miss Holley, Mrs. Cisco, Mrs. Miller, and a little daughter of Mr. Jones among the ladies wounded were Mrs. Hazzard, Mrs. Dr. C. W. Peters, Mrs. H. H. Clements, Mrs. Major T. B. Read, Miss Lucy Rawlings, Miss Maggie Cook, and Miss Hassley. Among the curiosities of the siege is the following circular, which Commodore Porter got up and attempted to transmit in bombshells. Three hundred copies of these were placed in a shell, with the hope that out of this number perhaps one might be saved and picked up, but n

Five hundred Confederate prisoners passed through Philadelphia from Camp Morton for Fort Delaware. The citizens of the Eastern Shore of Virginia are required to register themselves as loyal or disloyal. Siegel commands the department of West Virginia, and has appointed Gen. Stahl his chief of cavalry. Mr. Cisco has been appointed by Chase to sell his surplus gold. Longstreet is alleged to be mounting his infantry. An incursion into Kentucky is expected.

and leaving her stripped and desolate. The Journal considers that the main purpose of Breckinridge's movement into Western Virginia is an evasion of Kentucky, and that there is no doubt that a powerful force under Buckner or Presion, or both, strengthened by John Morgan's, Forrest's, and Champ Ferguson's cavalry, will co-operate with him in the invasion. Commercial and Financial. Gold opened in New York Wednesday with some degree of activity at 165; but when it was announced that Mr. Cisco had set the price of the gold certificates at 164 it became heavy, and dropped down to 163½. The Herald's commercial report says: By the Champion, from Aspinwall, we learn the arrival at Panama of two millions and a half of gold, which the Golden City brought from California. Only two hundred and seventy thousand dollars of the treasure come to this city — the rest going to England as a measure of security. We may thank Secretary Welles for the sending of our products to England.
