National RESOURCES.

We do not wonder that gold has taken
downward turn and Government notes and
securities are advancing. For the week
ending February 10th, the exports from
New York, exclusive Of specie, were valued
at five millions one hundred and fity-four
thousand dollars, against two millions one
hundred and forty-live thousand dollars for
the corresponding week last year. The
amount of commercial activity and agricul-
tlral prosperity involved in that gigantic
movement shows a degree ofvitality in the
nation which should make every craven
peace Democrat blush for shame. Europe
needs SUCH vast amounts of products that
we can enrich ourselves and almost stop the
outward flow Of gold, at the same time that
a gigantic war occupies the strength of the
Government. In the North no deserted
fields are left for the growth of dense forests
or that tangled luXurance Of wild vegetation
which marks either the primeval wilderness
or that made by the dcsoation of war. The
visions Of "brcad or blood" riots in Phila-
delphia and New York, which tickled the
fancy of rebels two years ago, have net come
to pass. No trouble exists among us save
that caused by the fiendish scoundrels who
sympathize with treason, and who wish to
see the ensign Of the Republic dishonored
and the fields Of the North desolated bv
their despicable Vaccinations. So far we
have bravely borne the burdens of the war :
no mnrmurs have escaped from the liIs of
! loyal mothers or fathers, even though their
sons have come home upon their shields, in
whole regiments no unusual cry Of distress
has risen from the lips of starving laborers

course of Louis Napoleon is thousand

The reason assigned for this unexpected

better able to endure toll and exposure in

the employment of negroes in our cotton

On the expedition, his battalion was repeat

and, says he, "even artillery" arranged
against them yet in every instance came
off with unblemished honor and undisputed
trump. His men made the most urgent
appeals to be allowed to press the flying
enemy. They exhibited the most fiery en-

No wanton destruction was permitted; no
personal outrage desired, during the expe-
dition. The regiment, beside the victories
which it achieved, and the large amount of
valuable property which it secured, obtained
cannon and flag, which, the Colonel very
properly asks permission for the regiment to
retain. 3W .att ...f .tts od
