PASSING THE FLAG.-A gentleman more
conspicuous for length of legs than keeping
the center of gravity within the base, was
passing the Irving Block yesterday, when his
eye caught glimpse of the stars and stripes,
which hung from the front of the building.
Conscience forbade his passing under its wav-
ing folds, and with eye fastened upon it, his
legs made some singular gyra:ions, and finally
landed his body in the gutter, from which he
puck-a-cheed down street, leaving pieces
of his skin on the curb stone. We have sym
patty for his shins, and would advise him in
future to keep closer to the stars and stripes.
A feminine haw-ed round the national banner
at the same block several days since, prefer
ring to walk in the middle OF the street rather
than go under the flag. Some of the soldiers
remarked that she took great pains to be polite.

GOLD AND SILvER.-Most of our readers
will remember that there was great excite
msnt q few years after the discovery of the
California and Australia gold fields, when the
yield of the precious metal was from three to
four millions per month, over the apprehen-
sion that gold would soon become drug on
the market and of less value than silver.
Many fnanciers, who pretended to be very
wise, commenced boarding silver, under the
idea of an ultimate great rise in value, and
would as soon take bills as gold for it. The
events since that period prove how little these
financial men control such matters. Gold has
not only not deprecated in value-although
its increase is a hundred, and perhaps thou
sand, fold greater than silver-but it on the
other hand, sells to-day for twenty per cent
premium, while silver only commands twelve
per cent. The same class of men who were
in great tribulation about gold becoming a
drug on the market are now predicting all
manner of financial disasters in regard to the
currency of the government. Future events
will no doubt show that they are Just as wise
now as they were then in reference to the
value of gold and silver. All such questions
of finance and value of money are controlled
by social and political events. 1t is utterly
imposs, Die for any set of men in Wall street
or elsewhere to determine their value. They
may get up an excitement and cause sudden
fuctuation but that has no effect upon the
ultimate value, no more than did the excite
ment over the prospect of gold becoming of
of less value than silver.-N. 7. Herald.

Position OF secretary seward.

WAsHIEaToN, July 2s.-The position of
Secretary Seward, and evidently authoritative.
is published this morning, from which, in the
language of the article, it appears he is con-
tent, as he hitherto has been, to remain where
he is so long as This causeless and Ubiquitous
war continues, and so long as the chosen
Chief Magistrate of the country requires it,
even though his advice should be overruled,
which happens very rarely, and then in cases
where his own Judgment approved. At tho
same time he would not if he could, for any
reason, prolong his stay in the place he now
holds, one hour beyond the time when the
President shall think it wise to relieve him.
and when he shall retire from it, it will be
with the determination he has moro than onca
heretofore expressed, under ne circumstances
whatever to be place holder in the service
of his country, even although, as he most con-
Adently expects, it shall emerge in its full
strength and greatness fromits present troubles.
He hopes that no one Of his fellow-citizans
thinks 50 shanefuIly Of him as TO suppose he
would be content to exercise power in frac-
ticn Of it if it should consent TO be divided.

As TOR the peculiarities of Wall street, the
Albany Standard hits them off in the follow
ing style. It says:
The susceptibility of Wall street is the most
amusing thing in the world. Weathercocks
cannot veer from west to north without caus-
ing stocks to Huctuate per cent.
We give some kilograms sent us on Satur-
day by friend:
aNEw York, July 10, 10 A. M.-Stocks
feverish, rebel having been seen making
towards Winchester with loaded pistol.
all A. M.-Stocks lower, rebel skiff having
crossed the james river, throwing brick-bats
at one Of our gunboats.
a12 M.-Great reaction in stocks, telegram
having been just received that JEFF. Davis is
down with the cholera morbus.
81 Mt is reported that Davis took par
agoric, and is now better; stocks depressed,
government skies declined 2 per cent.
@2 P. M.-Stocks buoyant; the news of the
taking of two blacksmiths' shops and a buggy,
by eight members of Banks cavalry, having
infused fresh confidence in the market.
1920 P. MA rain has just commenced.
Stocks lower, as operators fear the rain may
carry away the James river; 7.30s declined IL

Sick OF the War.

LITTLE WAHNGToE, Va, July 29.-The
people of Culpepper, Orange and Madison
counties were thunderstrsck at the recent sud-
den appearance of the Union forces under
Gen. Hatch. They are reported as heartily
sick of the war. They may well be, for the
prospect of starvation stares them in the face.
Their stock has been driven off by the Con-
federates.
The wheat crop is almost annihilated by
rust and the worm, and the corn, scarcely
above the ground, has 10 chance of ripening
before frost.

john BUN Carrying Rebel Ma ils

steam frigate Rinaldo was in our bay yester-
day, receiving well filed mail bsg for Eu-
rope. Large packages of Southern papers were
sent to friends abroad, by which they will be
enabled to obtain true statements of affairs in
our distracted country.
One of our gunboats went down the bay and
saluted Her Majesty's ship. The officers OF
the Rinaldo do not attempt to conceal strong
sympathies for 'isecesh." Her consort, the
Racer, will be here ere long, on her way to
Havana, and will receive the mail for Eng
land. If any of your friends desire to send let
tiers abroad they win soon have an opportuni-
ty Of SO doing.

Gen. Lew. Wallace attended q war meet
ing In PoUghkeepsIe, N. Y, on Saturday last,
and being called upon for speech, in response,
said that ifany State in the Union should be
foremost in her devotion to the Union and her
efforts to defend it, New York should, when
her very soil showed so many incentives to pa
triotism and courage. He urged the young
men and the middle aged mon to come for
ward and uphold the honor of the East, that
it might not be disgraced by failure in Vir-
ginia, while the army of the Southwest was
pursuing VIGOROUSLY its routed enemies. Gen.
Wallace also said none should be deferred
from enlisting by the manner in which the
war was prosecuted. Milk and water was at
an end, ana henceforth we were to maze war
No one need hang back for fear they were to
be used, to guard rebel property or to return
rebel slaves that sort of business was over.
Besides, the negroes themselves were to be
employed ia all such places as they were ca
psble of filing, and he for one believed they
ought to be. The idea that they could not be
obtained, he said, was preposterous. On the
march to Memphis he ccnld have for the ask
ing three times as many stout able bodied,
black men as he had white men in his entire
division. The General closed with an urgent
appeal to all to come forward and aid in up
holding our glorious flag against the assaults
of the enemy. His address was listened to
with marked attention, and interrupted by fire.

Of incidents of the heroism Of our soldiers were
related by the General, as followE-At the
battle of Pittsburg Landing our regiment was
pursuing the enemy, who was retiring, when
l came to man lying by tree, shot through
both KEGS. He gave me an imploring look.
A soldier said, HShall carry him to the
rear7" l said mo, not till the battle is over"
The wounded man said ''that's right, General"
and when we came back he was dead. And
as passed on saw soldier coming back to
wounded man. I asked him what he
wanted. He said, az am out of cartridges. "
The wounded man rolled over and took off his
cartridge box and handed it to the soldier and
said, ''now kill somebody with them" That
is the spirit of our soldiers.
