One of these, who was indebted to a merchant SI,OOO, paid the amount in gold with interest. Another paid $3,000, and other sums, of greater amounts, all in gold. In every case the dealers contend that the debts were contracted upon a specie basis, and should be settled upon the same. New business relations with the South are becom ing quite common among our traders, and many old associations are being renewed from day to day. There is quite a brisk de mand for clothing, household furniture, and agricultural implements from Virginia and North Carolina. Southern business men say that there are many millions of gold stowed 4 away m the cotton Stages, which, when order is estab lished, will be brought into circulation. At preseut there are so many lawless men at large, that the holders of cotton and other valuable articles, keep them concealed, fear ful of being robbed if they bring them to light. Gold, which is more portable, is more sensitive, and will therefore be longer in finding its way to a market. Our underwriters, who had policies of in surances upon the vessels which were cap tured and bonded by the Confederate cruis- era, not knowing how the war might termi nate, prudently formed a sinking fund, from \thich to pay these bonds, should they ever be presented. As the Confederacy has collapsed, so have the bonds, while the un derwriters have their funds all safe, which are now regarded as so much net gain. We understand that a party belonging to this city, whose ship had been bonded, was ot fered 25 per cent, by the underwriters to settle ; but he had faith in our final triumph and declared emphatically that he would not soil his fingers by handling any money that implied distrust in our cause.
