Richmond Items.

Hermes, in his letter of the Sd, commu.
nicates to the Charleston Mercury the fol-
lowing Richmond items:
Gold advanced 40 per cent. yesterday.
Many causes conduce to the rise. Mum.
bers of foreigners are leaving, taking gold
with them. Full one hundred of them
were at General Wiuder's Office this morn
ing. Some of them are scared others de-.
sire to return with stocks of goods at the
earliest opening of our ports. Again, the
capitalists of our city are engaged extern
sively in the blockade running business,
and they require gold for their operations.
Thirdly, the discussion in secret session of
the question of finance has occasioned vague
apprehensions, which no one defines, yet
every one acts upon. Lastly, the rise IN
New York affects the gold market here.
A con of Halleck, the editor of the
Journal of Commerce, has just reached
this city, bringing with him cheering intel
ligence Of the depression and alarm in the
monetary and political circles Of the North.
He comes to cast his lot with US. Says he

mond since his arrival than for six months

RESIGNATION OF GEN. TooMBs.-We
learn, on undoubted authority that General
Toombs, Of Georgia, whose rank, We believe,
is that of Brigadier General, has rendered
the resignation of his commission to the
President. Itis not positively known what
motives induced this step, but it is said it
is owing to disappointment Of his military
aspirations-General Toombs claiming that
if he was not worthy ofpromotion, he would
resign in favor of some one who vas
Others say that his resignation has a politi-
cal bearing, and that he will be brought
forward as candidate for the next Govern.
or of Georgia. General Toombs is we'll
known from his long public career. Atthe
time of the secession of his State he was
one of the United States Senators from
Georgia, and was one of the most active
and able leaders of the State Rights party
in that body, identifying himself with the
secession movement from its inception.

corn sufficient to supply all 10 his division

TEE PAST WEEK.

Tuesday and Wednesday of last week,
was the time appointed for the ezamina-
ton Of Gonscripts, and brought a large num-
Der of the males left to town. Many had
volunteered in companies, and few were
left to conscript, making, perhaps a total of
some seventy FIVE, showing, we think, con-
clusively, that York had already contributed
most of her arms-bearing population of the
ages specified. If this is taken as an aver.
age throughout the South, it may not be
necessary to increase the call to forty five,
in order to hll up the decimated ranks of
companies in Virginia, &c. which was OBJ
Yiously the original intention. Atany rate,
our ranks should be filled in every quarter,
the stragglers should return voluntarily, or
be gathered up at once, and We rest assured,
that ia long pull, and a strong pull, and a
pull altogether" will do more to bring a.
bout speedy and lasting peace, than all
the recognition and disatfections with which
the press are now so preg ant.
On Monday last the Court was called by
the Clerk, and the juries dismissed, there
being no Judge present and no necessity
for one. The attendance was large, for the
times. f. H-

s% The Mobile Tribune publishes the
list Of persons between the ages of eighteen
and forty years, who have taken the oath as
aliens before the enrolling officer at Mobile.
The list is formidable one, numbering
between nine hundred and one thousand
persons, and we suppose that, should per.
sons between forty and forty.five be called
out, it would be largely increased.
This publication, remarks the Columbus
Enquirer, is timely and proper one. Can
not similar lists lie published in all the other
cities and towns? It isright that our people
should know, after the war is over and
trade is re-established, who repudiated the
duties of citizen during the trying hour
of the country in which they enjoyed pro-
lection and made their money. Those who
eyade such duties now should be avoided
hereafter in the dispeusation of patronage
and fayor.-Savannah Neos.

The REACTION AT THE NoRTH.-We
have on authority from the, North, which
we consider entirely reliable, some very
comfortable information relative to the pop.
ular reaction through the Northwest. An
eirrepressible" conflict seems to have risen
between the Democrats and Republicans in
the Illinois Legislature, on proposition to
adjourn to the first of June, by which time
it is hoped by the Democrats the peace con-
vention proposed to be holden at louisville,
would be. enabled to make report Of its
proceedings. This caused the Republican
members to desert the Senate, thereby leav.
ing it without quorum for business, and
thus the matter stands. The Chicago
Times urges the Democrats to stand firm,
and make no terms with the Republicans,
while it is thought they will do. This
squints very strongly of anarchy and confu-
sion.-Richmond Eramsiaer.
