1ME PRICE OF GOLD.

The rise Of gold, yesterday, in the New
1ork market, to twenty-eight and hal
per cent premium to speak more cor
rectly, the fall of paper to twen:y-eight and
half per cent belo Z paris unquestiou.
ably due to purely speculative moycmen,
that has no foundation in the exigencies o1
the national situation. We are sorry to
sey that Wall street is the abode Of much
OF the secession sentiment in New York
and that the largest operators in the stock
and gold market are those whose loyalty
LAY be most Justly suspected. They
are the parties who have united tn
oiscredit the securities Of the Government
and uphold the do-nothing policy in the
the army. It happens, unfortunately, that
their efforts, following series Of inexcus-
aole disasters to the Federal arms, to which
treason and military Jealousy have contri-
tated, are just now successful, and that the
outside herd # operators have been 50
Influenced BY their pretended opinions and
hold ac.ion, as to follow their lead. There
IS a panic-as causeless, sense1css and
ridiculous panic as ever afflicted any
money malket Of the world.
Thank Heaven! distrust of the ability of
ills Republic 10 conquer its enemies ard
to redeem lis pecuniary obligations, cannot
sc OF long continuance. The yictorits at
luka, at Corin1h, at the Hatclie, and now
Ut Per1ysrille, to be soon followed, We
trust, by the movement Of Mcclellan and
lie retreat Of the rebels to their old base.
Il net their aDnihilaiion, will compel re-
11'rn OF the people to their senses, and send
geld down to point which will relieve
the apprehensions Of the tinid who now
imagine that tile country is about to be
hurried into hopeless bankruptcy. The
national debt is to day far less than thou
sand millions Of do1lars--one-tlird
ot the sum upon which, when its bouudlcss
resources are taxed, the government cun
p'y a larger interest than that paid BY
ally European power, And We believe
that the rebellion las eliminated. The in
cursor into Maryland and the advance into
Kentucky were the last evidences Of despe-
rate energy that NC sail witncss. There

slde occasional defeats; but the advance of
0oo;Voo new recruits rushing doTn upon
the enemy with tue swlftncss and force of

1lon and insure the quick return of peace.

From Our Own Correspondent I

ofR1SGFIELD, Ill., Oct. g. 1862. .
The tories are bending all their energies in
this campaign to excite the prejudices Of the
laooring white population against the fmm;-
grafton Of few colored people Into the State.
They trust to get more votes hy exciting the
passions of the ignorant in this manner thar
in any other way. But just look at their posi-
ton now, and that which they assumed II
their State convention in this city, In that
convention Richardson and Allen denounced
the administration for feeding these co1ore4
people q. Cairo, ut the expense of the tax paTtt
ers, Now that the government allows the
farmers to HI them, they bawl out " Africad.
ization Of the S:ate,' "degradation OF whit&
labor" etc. Every act OF the government I'd
put down the rebellion they dcno2nce. But
1t was always puzzle to me-, how q negro
slave could work along side Of white man in
elaEe State snd not hurt the social status of
the white In the least; but that when negro
freeman was to put to work along side of
white man, then the tables were turned. and
the horrors Of slavery became plain. The
dsvilish hypocrisy that would thus exalt
slavery md debase freedom Is ouly vorthv ot
The litter days Of An effete aud corrupt priv
or rather carcass Of party. Such fellows rs.
Allen and Richardson care nothing about white
labor. They are after votes, And .u th;sf
cry about the irfiux Of negro labor Is a merf]
howl for votes. The fact that the Democr,.d
themselves hire ten of these negroes to one3
h1fed By Republicans is evidence of It. II Isl

The Assessors report on the iirst OF Jan
uary last 947, 489 swine, six months of
age and over To arrive at the probable
number ready for the market next winter,
we must add large number of late sum-
mer and fall pigs, at least one fourth
as many more for winter and early
spring pigs, and a pretty smart number
Of those which were toryotten to be re-
turned, none Of which are reported hy
the Assessors. One half as many more,
therefore, should be added, which will
makethe total ready for market next
fall and winter not less than ! ,42l 233.
As from one to two hundred thousand of
the assessed number have doubtless been
kept over from last year, having sold out
of the State in every shape, not over iOJ,-
900 head, we cannot safely estimate the
average weight at less than 200 pounds
per head. net Deduct 500, 900 for home
consumption aud breeding, We will have
for exportatioa. III round numbers, 90O,-
600 head. 1t we ate wrong in our ad-
ditions to the number furnished by the
Assessors, those more intimate with such
matters, can readily correct them. We
feel satisfied, however, that we nre cor
rect as to the probable total number
In the State, but may not lie in the mum

given, any one can make their own de

time to be $40 600, based upon the Uni
ted States Census of 1860. From tic
assessors returns for all the counties, ex-
cepting SAX, the total number reported il
3zU, ,7U7. For those not reported the
Census Of 1860 gives 27,472. The in
crease is at least sufficient to make the
aggregate $4,000, beiug 10000 above
my estimate. As lambs under six months
lot age were not assessed, it is fair TO pre-
suuc that there were $50, 900 shorn this
year, which would average fleece oi
three pounds. As large numbers OF sheep
are daily being imported into the State,
it would not be surprising that we should
have near $50, efe 10 clip next year
With halt ml...aa sl4e;;4 AS a basis, il
Will mol be many yea.s p..ore Iowa will
be ranked among the most prominent wool
producing States in the Union.
| HoRsEs,-By the assessors returns,
and estimating for the six or eight coun-
/ ties not returned we have the number oi
2a1 900 horses assessed and of mules
the number of 900 assessed.
