The Stragetic Importance of Harper's

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, May 20.
Harper's Ferry is the kew to the rich valley re-
gion of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
As base of military operations, it is of vast i'm
portance to the Federal Government, while to the
State of Virginia and the whole South il is a
position of vital necessity. The chief, and in
fact almost the only means of communication be-
tween the Virginia valley and Western Virginia,
is by Harpcr's Ferry and the railroad leading to
and from il. Besides, if Virginia holds Harper's
Ferry it will enable her, by raids upon the Cum
berland valley in Maryland and Virginia. to sup
ply her troops with cattle and corn; and moreover
it will afford the basis of operations against Phila-
delphia, if they should be attempted. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that Virginia, and indeed
all the Confederate States, should make a strong
effort to hold this point 1t is of vastly more inn
portance to them than Fortress Monroe, Fort
Pickens. and Sewall's Point, and the Gosport
Navy Yard, all together.
We can not rely upon the reports as to the
strength of the Confederate force at Harper's
Ferry But it is daily increasing; though the
breaking up of the railroads leading to it from
Richmond, &c, has necessarily checked the ad-
vance of troops to that point. An intelligent
Union man from Hagerstown, who has lately been
at the ferry, states that the three emnences are
well fortified with cannon, and that the nights on
the Maryland side which overlooks the others, is
well supplied with artillery. He thinks that no
force can take the place without immense loss
and that the only way to reduce it would be by
a regular seige. The plan adopted for taking
the place seems to be in accordance with this
view; for it is probable that three strong col
umns are to be advanced against it at the same
time, so as to hold the entire country around it
The advance IRON Pennsylvania has already com
menced, and that force will command the ferry
on the Maryland side.
This, as well as other movements of the war
will be conducted, it is said, with view to sue
at the least possible loss of life to either side
Therefore, every movement against any place
will be made with an Overwhelming force

Gold Canning.

We notice from our exchanges that in our
Western towns gold is already beginning to make
fits appearance to fill up the vacuum created by
the withdrawal of the wild cat currency From
the Buffalo Courier we clip the following an
|nouncement:
The conclusion which the holders of produce
lin Chicago arrived at few days ago. to sell pro-
|duce for specie, had a marked effect on the money
market here yesterday. Dealers in produce
were applying for gold in large quantities to send
wv est, and demand was thus created which our
bankers could not supply.
Thus we find that dealers in produce" are
compelled to meet the reGuisition made by our
people, are demanding al large quantities of
3gold to send out West" This should begin to
3open the eyes of people to the fact which
ihas been so long ignored by them-that is, that
lgOld, like all things else, will obey the laws of
f. supply and demand" and that if they will on
[ly stand firm and let the world know that they
must and will have gold for the necessaries of
life which they supply, it will inevitably come at
1.-THE demand. A little time is all that is required
Doubtless it will be difficult, for some weeks yet,
for Eastern purchasers to procure the full amount
sof gold required to pay for the grain they desire;
but part can be paid in gold, and Eastern ex
change furnished for the balance. This exchange
can be had by placing their own current funds
into their banks, and drawing in our favor for
the amounts required. This exchange will be
the same to us as gold, as we have Eastern debts
to pay which it viii iquidate. Thus it is that
our people have it in their power, by moments
patience and resolution to pay their Eastern in
.debtedness without having to lose dollar in the
purchase of exchange, and to have a home cir
EQUATION of gold and silver. We repeat that a
little time. resolution and patience is all that is
required to give us q permanently sound cur

Sound Advice.

The Presbyterian General Assembly has been
in session at Philadelphia for several days past
and of course the present condition of the country
came up for discussion. Application was made
Ito some of the members of the Cabinet for adj
zvice, and dispatch announces the result as
Follows:
A telegram was received from Secretary Bates,
stating that in his opinion and that of the other
members of the Cabinet, the best thing the As
3sembly can do to sustain the Government is to
preserve the unity of the Presbyterian Church by
sustaining from any deliberations on the present
TROUBLES.
l No sounder advice than this could have been
given, and if similar advice had been extended to
3some of the religious assemblies from such quar-
tiers years ago we should not now, in all proba
1bilty have had the state of affairs in the country
that we do. All of these religious assemblies,
3convocations and conventions can best serve the
Government by serving God and letting the Gov
3ernment alone.-Detroit Free Press.

Farmers, Tools.

certain number of tools, and some skill II
their use, will often save the farmer much tim,
in sending for mechanic, and some expense II
paying him. Every farmer should be able t.
make repairs on his wagons. gates. buildings, &c
A room, or portion of a room, should be devoted
to keeping these TOOLS pin or nail should be in
serted for each one to hang on, and the name OF
each tool written painted under the pin, that i
may be promptly returned to its place, and any
missing one detected. Keep every tool in it,
place-do not wait for more convenient season
but return every one to its pin the moment it j.
done with. If left out of place a minute. it viii
be likely to remain week, and cause loss Of
time in looking for it, hundred times greater
than in replacing it promptly. Keeping every
thing in its place is habit costing nothing wher
formed. The tools should be hammer, saw
augurs, brace and bits, gimlets, screw drivers
wrench, two planes chisels, mallet, files and rasp
saw. set. trowel, and box with compartment,
for different sized nails, screws, nuts, bolts &c
Common farm implements and tools. such a:
hoes, spades, shovels, forks, scythes, &c may b,
in the same room, on the opposite side, and tn,
same precautions taken to keep every one in it
place.

On Thursday the following resolution re-
ported from the Committee on Education and
adopted in the Senate on the motion of Mr.. Line
the Senator from Franklin:
WHEREAS, The Auditors of several coun-
ties of the State have failed to make their reports
to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
is required by the school law. passed at the
last regular session of the General Assembly OF
Enthusiastically preventing the Superintendent
from making his distribution of the school funds
equitably, by the time such distribution was re-
quired to be made by law:
Therefore, resoiced, That we approve of the
delay of the Superintendent in making said dis
tribution until said County Auditors have made
their reports as required by the law.
Resolved, That it is of the highest Importance
to the educational interests of Indiana, that
every public officer connected with the school
law, either directly or remotely should be prompt
in the discharge of his official duty.

SrKPHi.x A DOUGLAS is deadi The announce
ment of this melancholy event will cause pro
found sensation throughout the country. His
name wis household word. Not one Of our
public men was as widely known or possessed as
many warm and devoted friends. The life Of
DoUGLAs was an eventful one. AT an age COM
parativeIy young in the life of a Statesman, he
reached step by STEP the highest pinacle Of fame.
Mr. DousLAs died at Chicago on Monday
morning, June Sd, at 9 O'Clock. His disease was
typhoid fever. He was born in Brandon, Yer
mont, April 23d, 1873 His historyis so familiar
to every American citizen, that it viii be
almost unnecessary to recite the events of his
life. Hereafter we shall do so as Just tribute
20 his memory.
How strange are the ways Of Providence. II
seemed as though DoUGLAs was to act an impor
tant part in the settlement Of the great issue:
which threaten the overthrow Of the Government
influence in the direction of public affairs
if he had lived. But he is gone. Man
proposes, but God disposes- His death will be
mOurned with sincere sorrow by his friends, anC
even his political enemies will be constrained tC
pay a fitting tribute to his genius, to his tower
ing intellect and patriotism, all which hav.
made their impress upon the history of the
country. he dies young in years, but. meas
uring Efe by mental activity. few in Sc
brief period have lived as long or accom-
plished as much. We are too deeply affected BY
this sad event, writing as we do, upon the receip
of the Intelligence of his decease, to say NOR,
at this time. In our next issue we will give
sketch of his career.
