RISE IN GOLD To-DAY--THE cAUs

RISE IN GOLD To-DAY--THE CAUSE.
Gold has gone up to-day, in New York, to
1917, 1917, 1879. This is the longest leap yet
made in one day. There arc various reasons
given for II. One is that news was received in
Wall street this morning that our forces have
been rcpulsed before Vicksburg. Butthis wed
not believe. Another reason, given by New
York merchants, now in this city, is
that the recent passage of the bank
bill is the cause, the banks Of New York
city having decided not to organize under 1t.
wc doubt whether this is the cause. We be.
love the real cause of this sudden upward ten.
dency Of gold to be the failure of Congress to
pass the finance bill. The want Of prompt ac.
ton by Congress, on this bill, is the subject OF
general comment and surprise.

The Defenoes of ChsrIe.ton.

Forts .Nomtrie and Sumter Certainty Eron-clad
A letter from the blockading squadron of
Charleston, just received in Boston, says that
from observation with powerful glasses, and
the statements of dcserters, 1t is evident that
Charleston is strongly fortified.
There is no doubt that Fort Moultric as well
as Fort Sumter, is iron-clad, and that the rebels
have a considerable number of very powerful
guns in position. Still, If no accidents happen
10 our iron-clads, (and a number will be kept
in reserve to meet emergencies,) the Admiral
in command (Dupont) is confident that he shall
be able to capture the city. Theland troops at
Charleston consist mainly of Conscripts, who
would not probably make a very stout resist
ance to our march onward, in case the city
should be captured. When the letter was
written it was not known when the assault
would be made.

REPAIRING THE srREErs.

By reference to the proceedings of the city
councils of last evening it will be seen that
joint committee Of the two boards was ap-
pointed to wait upon Congress and ask an ap.
preparation for the repair of the streets of the
city.
Congress cannot in justice refuse an appro-
priation. The streets have been rendered i'm.
passible by the heavy trains of Government
wagons constantly passing over them, and in
many cases even the payements have been de-
stroyed and the streets torn up in order to facl;
itate the business of the Government. This
appropriation is due to the citizens of Wash
ington, and we believe that it will be promptly
made as soon as the committee can lay the
facts before Congress.

TEE SLEEPING sENTINEL-By Francis De
Has' Janvicr, Esq, Of his City.-we are in
debted to the author for a copy of this charm
ing little epic poem. 1t was first pronounced
by that finished eloqutionist, Mr.. Murdoch, in
the presence Of select audience in the Senate
Chamber, some weeks since, and attracted con-
siderable attention. "Who wrote it Z" has
been the question frequently asked. Mr. Muir
doch was Stormed, by those who listened to his
reading of it, for copies; but he was pledged
not to grant such request. We now divulge
tho secret. The poem is gem. 1t tells the
story Of VIM. Scott, young soldier from the
State of Vermont, who, while on duty as a
sentinel at night, fell asleep, and having been
condemned to die, was pardoned by the Presl.
dent. 1t is sold at all the bookstores.

The Proclamation In the South.

From the Nashville (Tenn) Union.
The Emancipation Proclamation may have
been impolitic; but 1t is certain that the evil
results, which its opponents predicted would
follow its publication, have not yet appeared.
The Proclamation was issued ON the lst of Jan
uary, seven weeks, or nearly two months, ago,
and no domestic carnage and slave insurrec-
ton have followed that we have heard of. On
the contrary, the slaves seem to have been un-
usually peaceful and quiet. Their masters
have risen against the Government by thou
sands, but they have not lifted their hands
against the families Of their masters. Rebel
white soldiers have shot and hung loyal Cti-
zens, and have butchered women in cold blood.
Rebel slave owners have violated the persons
Of helpless females, aud laid the houses OF loyal
people in ashes, and perpetrated a thousand
Outrages, 30 atTOCiOus that 1t seemed as If hell
had been permitted to hold Its saturnalia in the
South. But no where have we heard that the
slaves OF these tiendish wrGtChes have commit
ted like Outrages. If the rebellOus slave own
ers would follow the example set before them
by their patient slaves, the nation would quick
ly be at peace.
We were told also by the opponents of the
Proclamation, that 1t would cxasperate the
rebels, and thus give energy and strength to
the rebellion. But experience, thus far, di-
rectly falsiies this prediction. At no period
In the career of the rebellion have its prospects
been so dark, or its condition 80 distracted and
desperate as they are at present. cloud Of
gloom and despair, which lets no shaft of light
stream through its murky riffs, envelopes the
land of rebellion from Richmond TO Mobile. 1t
reminds one of the gross darkness (which
might DO folt," which shrouded Egypt like a
funeral pail, a short time before the exodus of
the children of Israel from the land of bondage.
And we, too, guided by the fiery cross of the
Lord through our night Of sorrow, and Shcl-
tered by His canopy of clouds, may, in His
own good time, walk through the Red Sea of
civil war, after much tribulation, and reach at
last the land of perfect freedom.
