Gen. EsOsecaans' Army Police.
The Nashville Union, paper sup
ported and owned by Lincoln's Ad-
miliJtr4tion, quotes the Washington
correspondence of the New York
Times, alleging the abuse of the army
police system in General Rosecrans
department, and gives the following
important testimony in the case, which
will explain in great measure why
he was very properly removed from
his command
How far the New York Times may
b. correct in its statement that Gen.
Rosecrans' "persistent adherence to,
and support of his so-called Chief of
Army Police" had much to do with
his removal, we know not, but the uni
versal detestation of the army police
organization, which is a reproduction
of the Spanish Inquisition, in many
Of its features, is fact not to be dis
puted. We have the highest authors
ity for saying that not only the loyal
citizens and soldiers, almost without
exception, but nearly all the leading
officers in the Army Of the Cumber-
land, haze for long time been anx-
ious to have that mischieyous organi-
zation abolished. The main statements
of the Times are strong, but not ex-
aggsrated. Even after the appoint
ment Of a regular Custom-house Off
Ger at this port, we we're officially in
formed that agents Of the army police
attempted to collect revenue and grant
permits. This insolent attempt was
promptly stopped in several insta noes

The Defeat OF TaliaDdiShan-
1t sscjOiceS shat Ills DeGent will
Unite ehc whole FeGpie OF the
South.
From the Richmond Enquirer October "a
Yankee Democrats.
In the two great democratic"
States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, the
candidates on the side of wyr and the
Administration have been elected by
large majorites. Vallaudigham is
is crushed out, and his policy Of "Peace
Democracy" along with him. 1t goes
as we expected.
Repeatedly, in the Enquirer, we
have demonstrated that, among our
Yankee enemies, there was no differ
ence to us; that the Democrats were
equally our enemies with the Repub]i>
cans; that the "eopperhead" mo,e-
ment, with all its knights of the Col
den Circle, was merely a contriyancc
for bringing back the Democratic par
ty into power, and that, Immediately
on that happy event, the Peace Demo
Gratis would all be War Democrats.
The business of that country is war;
by war they live and move. The
credit of their current money, and its
power to purchase the necessaries of
life, depend entirely upon war; there
fore, all principles and policies yield
TO the grand principle and policy of
the war. Ardently as Democrats and
coppcrheads desire to have for them
selves the management ofthe national
business, and the handling of the ma
tional money, yet they all know that
they cannot do without the war at all.
Therefore, it was by skillful reprt5en-
ting that the vigorous prosecution Of
the war would be impaired by any con-
demnation of the Presidents present
policy, that the populations of those
two Democratic States have been in
duced even to forego their party inter
ests and predictions, even to renounce
the hope of office and spoils, and to
swallow black republicanism whole
subjugarion, abolition and all--rather
than weaken the hands of the war Ad-
ministration.
This result, be tia matter of regret
or otherwise, was inevitable at the
present stage of the affair. The war
fever, like any other malady, had to go
through all its range of symptoms and
reach its crisis in the regular way. 1t
was not to be hoped, that while the
patient was yet plethoric and full of
blood, the fever would suddenly abate
of itself. The Yankee nation is still
in the wild, unrestrained enjoyment eff
an artificial prosperity. New York
City, as we learn from its press, was
never SO luxurious and extrayagant,
was never so abandoned to pleasure
and license. On a certain fine day
last week, says the Herald, over six
thousand carriages were counted in the
Central Park, on the same day; all the
hotels Of the city we're full to overflow
ing, and the streets were almost inn
passable from the throng Of conveyan-
ces and pedestrians; railroad and canal
stock have advanced far beyond all
former experience; the mighty hosts Of
contractors, naval and military, have
their hands full. and manufacturer
are paying fabulous wages, The whole
land has its veins injected, swelling
and throbbing with unnatural life; and

give battle, what did he advance to the Rapi-
dan for! Why was he allowed to. increase
the cost OF maintaining his army by Iengthen-
ing the distance from his supplies, and guard
ing long lines of Communication in the me-
my's country, if, without lighting, he was TO
hurry back to Washington and there stand on
the defensive! He could have lowered
around Washington and have kept on the de-
fensive without mourning all this expense, and
without the loss of prestige involved in fifty
or sixty miles hurried retreat, under vigorous
pursuit by tae enemy.
The simple truth, obvious to the whole
country, is, that Meade maintained his adj
vanced position until the Administrator weak
ened his army to carry a State election, and
that he was then compelled to fly before a
pursuing foe.
We could, if necessary, demonstrate with
equal c~learness that the defeat of Rosecrans
and is present critical position are the direct
consequence of using soldiers by the Admin
ministration for accomplishing party objects.
The attempt to put Governor Seymour in a
false position, as a means of ~prejudicing the
country against the Demo cratic party, caused
f~orty-fve regiments (this is Senator Wilson
statement of the number) to be sent to this
city, when half of that number as a rein
forcement to Rosecrans would have saved him
from a disastrous drfent- ~ two or three
Thousand soldiers the draft produced in this
city we're ~notzimportant enough to Justify the
Administrators in weakening our two most
important armies, endangering their safety,
and rendering the fall campaign in the West
and the East worse than a nullity. The draft
could have stood still for a while here, as well
as in a dozen other States. Rut political con-
siderations prevailed, and the administrator
has caused important campaigns to miscarry
that it might carry elections. The season of
deep mud, which will postpone active opera
tons for the winter, is close upon us ; and
next summer the Administration will still
have a great war upon its hands, as an engine
for eleeting a Republican President.

BgOur readers will remember that, at the
time of the great draft riot in New York, 1T
was said that one Andrews, from Virginia, was
the leader and instigator. This Andrews was
arrested and sent to Fort Lafayette. Who he
really was, and what has become ofhim, may
be judged by the following from the Boston
Courier:
aThe fact that Andrews, the noted leader
of the New York mob. has been quietly reno
we'd from Fort Lafayette and taken, no one
knows where, while the other less conspicuous
rioters have been tried and punished, is excl
ting considerable attention, and is believed by
many to confirm the statement made some time
ago, that this Andrews was a special agent
sent by the War Department to excite the ri
.ot, and draw, if possible, some leading Demo
gratis into completely with it, in order to ruin
them before the people. Failing in this, it is
now surmised that he has been quietly released.
The Democratic journals of New York cry
loudly for his production and trial"

THE RISE IN GOLD.

The price OF gold has again risen rapidly
under the pressure of commercial exigencies.
The laws of trade cannot be altered by acts
ofCongress, nor can their operation be changed
by judicial decisions. When outraged, they
always vindicate their own wrongs in an ire
sistible manner. When Mr.. Chase compelled
the banks to suspend specie payments in or Ter
that he might make an unlimited issue of pa
per, which he calls borrowing without interest,"
every wellinformed man knew that all prop
erty and wages were to Become the sport of
circumstances, that no man could tell what his
labor would yield him, what profits his bust
ness would give, or what dependence was to
be placed upon his income. The inevitable
depreciation of the paper shows itself most
readily in the apparent price of gold, and this
fuctuates violently. Each upward movement,
however, carries it to a higher figure The
following is a table of the highest and lowest
points since tho Government bankruptcy, or
when it failed to pay its notes bearing on their
face a solemn promise to pay gold at the New
York Treasury

These are very violeut fluctuations, and they
measure not only the rise and fall in the value
of Government uniform currency" but also in
the earnings of every laborer.
1t will be remembered that it is not gold
alone that rises and falls, for every working
man knows too well how his weeks wages
shrink up whens"gold RISES" and he finds that
the usual sum in "greenebaeks" will not com
mand nearly SO many of the family supplies on
Saturday night. The reason of the rise is,
that the Government paper, by excess of sup
ply, has declined in value. This can never
be the case when specie is currency because
the moment that is in too great supply, and
prices of goods rise, then goods come from all
parts of the world and the surplus gold is
carried off in exchange. The prices then-fall
to the natural level. The national industry al
ways supplies its OWE currency. Thus California
supplies-the material, and the Mint, under the
constitutional laws of Congress, "coins the
gold and regulates its value" makes twenty
three grains of gold one dollar. There was al
ways an abundance of that money until Mr..
Chase undertook to supply ga uniform curren-
cy" of fraudulet promises. That paper cur
rency is issued to any extent ; but it will not
leave the country no one sends goods here
unless they get gold consequently, all prices
rise with gold, and will continue to rise as
long as Mr.. Chase's paper money continues to
fall in value through excess of quantity. This
matter is easily demonstrated. In Hunts
Merchants Magazine, for February last, is a
table of ffty-fve leading articles of commerce
N New York, with their prices at that time.
forming an aggregate of eight hundred and
four dollars as the value of the units of those
fifty-fye articles. We have brought that ia

rose in price also. The goods brought here
were sold, not for gold, but for Mr.. Chase's
paper, which could be converted into gold only
at a high premium. In February last a spec
seen, carried the price of gold above that of
the other commodities, and, as a consequence,
its export demand was checked. Gold was
more in demand to keep here than to export.
This Mr.. Chase exertcd himself to stop: Gold
then fell, and has since been exported to the
extent of thirty-six million dollars: The guam
titv in banks has declined ten million dollars.
The general prices of commodities are now
eighty per cent. higher than in January, 1862,
and gold is only ffty-four per cent. higher
In illustration, we may take three articles from

One of the most disgraceful scenes ever
witnessed in our town occurred here one day
last week.s,A couple OF cowardly scoundrels
with brass buttons on them, who had sneaked
away from the pest of danger in the field,
urged on by some prominent Abolitionists of
this town, got drunk and perambulated the
streets Insulting Democrats. The towards all
the time sticking close by each other watched
their opportunity and singing out some old
man would commence their abuse. They
dared not make any demonstration towards
young men of their size, and only talked brave
to old men. They first pitched upon Mr.. JOHN
HHFNER but the moment a friend camo. to
his assistance the drunken braggarts sneaked
away. they next got after Mr.. ALANsoN
WALKER, but failing to scare him with their
threats they skunk auay again. They then
drew their pistols and walked up street with
them in their hands, Aourishfng them about
and as far as their drunken tongues would per-
NIT, swearing to kin Democrats. Our town
authorities, who have been so rapid Suring
the summer in pree'erving the peace Of tue
town, on this occasion made no interference,
but permitted these would be murderers to go
unrestrained. Two Or three boys got after
this precious brace of rascals and scared them
so that they run from town as fast as their
legs would carry them. Next morning they
were brought before J. P. DEvoR, Esq. and
to give bonds for their appe arance at
Court. One of them had considerable diff
Guilty in getting bail and thereupon cold, that
prominent Republicans had urged him to it
and that they now refused to befriend him
The conseryator of the peace, the Mayor of
the town, endorsed the proceedings that for a
time threatened to involve all in ruin by becom-
ing bail for one ofthem. What need is there to
attempt to preserve the peace when its viola
tors can call upon him, whose special duty it
is to attend to such matters, and get him to
save them from the punishment their crimes
deserve. We hope that hereafter every DEM
ocrat viii go armed and prepared for such
scoundrels and we warn the puppies that if
they attempt such a thing again they will see
upon very short notice the master they serve.

of the most Infamous outrages that we
have eser been called upon to chronicle occur
red in Jefferson, Wayne County, one day
last week. A soldier who had been married
but about two years, returned to his home a
short time since on fuTlough. Before he came
home he had sent some money back to his
wife. "A few days after his return he asked
her for this money stating that he wanted to
go to Wooster. It was freely given him. He
: had learned before, however, that his wife had
received som thirty-fve dollars from her
fathers estate. He demanded this also but
his wife refused to give it to him. He then
deliberately drew a pistol and shot her in the
breast. At the time, the wound was supposed
to be mortal, and we have not heard since
whether the woman is dead or alive.
q Such conduct needs no comment. 1t is
only on par with that of the drunken coward.
" ~sccundrels that attempted to raise the dis
turbance in Ashland last week. When a wal
is carried on, upon a system of vandalism and
barbarity that has scarce a parallel in the his
tory of the world, and which is in direct op-
position to all the modern rules of warfare
when men are taught to murder and rob in
discriminatory, when fold that brute ierce II
the only law they are to obey, just such scenes
may be expected. But it bas come to this.
that the life of neither man, woman or child
is safe among such men as these. Accua
toned to rob and murder in the army they
hut follow up the same course when they come
home. OF course we are net saying this Of
all, but weak minded men and that other kind
that are natural born rascals take advantage
in fulI of the teaching given them.
