PRICE OF SILVER AND GOLD.

We have received pamphlet copy of the An
nual Report made by the Director of the Mint, the
Hon. JAMES Pollock, to Mr.. Secretary CHASE,
for the fiscal year ending june 80, 1852.
The report is replete with interesting and valu-
able suggestions. We extract from it the follow
ing spaculations respecting the future supply Of
gold and silver which Mr.. Pollock hopes will be
adequate to save in measure, the volume of legal
tender currency issued and TO be issued by the
Government from continuous depreciation. He
says:
There Is some reason, from present experience to fear
continuous advance Of gold aud silver compared with
the legal tender cnrrency issued by the Government That
fear be much abated by considering the zng
ducto of the cold fields of the world to which there has
been no parallel in past history 1t much to the
purpose to consider that at the of the great Napoeonc
the supply of precious metals chief maintained
by the mines Of Mexico and South America the washngs
OF the gold coast OF Africa and some initial developments
in Russia altogether not exceeding twenty FIVE millions of
dollars by liberal estimate annually for series Of years
During the most critical part of this the premium
gold in England reached per cent against
Bank Of England notes, bnt generally much less and
in three yearfrom 1913 to 18l6-fell from the hest
point to par with bank paper Since those tmes it al
mst unnecessary to say the stock OF gold has been i'm
Ren:ey reinforced, and have the gold fields Of
California and adjacent Observation-Disclosures, Pixies
Peak, Australia, New Zealand Russia Nova Scotia, and
Adding together all the Of supply both gold and
silver, may safely estimate annual yield, in these
times of hundred and seventy five millions of dollars
seven times the amount produced Annually for come
years prior to the peace of 1915
There s therefore, much to hope that the price
of gold and silver, compared with actual currency,
not go rising indefinitely and runousy aud that the
ura of peace win bring returning tendency to specie
payments. The civilized world does not want mere
alc currency but it must have sufficient metallic sup
port for its bills of credit and it is easy to that only
FIVE years addition Of gold aud silver from the mines will
exert vast uence Once out of the ground and put in
available shape, They aresetng off the abrasion Of
coinsa perpetual addition to the machinery of trade and
the wealth Of the world"
These calculations of Mr.. Pollock would be
much more encouraging if he could show that, with
an increasing volume of legal tender currency,
there would be much room left for this accruing
supply Of the precious metals to exert it's influence
in keeping up an equilibrium between the precious
metals and paper money. Experience has proved
that after the expansion of the latter has reached
certain point, any increase Of the former serves
rather to swell the exports of gold and silver than
to create expanding metallic b,sis commensu-
rate with the expanding issues Of paper money.

tempted to make their escape. Captain
Evans was killed as he came 10 the door,
but not until he had fred at and woun-
ded one Of the Burks. Some four others
Of the party were killed, the remainder
escaped, leaving behind, their arms, pris-
oners, and all their ill-gotten plumber,
amongst which was $1,000, in green
backs and Confederate notes. The four
men deserve all the credit Of this feat,
for the citizens who were to attack in the
rear, ran off without doing anything.
Our informant states further, that the
impressment agents in Dixie, have gone
into almost every section Of the coun-
try, overhauled the farmers supplies Of
bacon, corn, &c, and measured out to
them what they regarded as enough to
last them for home consumption until
another crop is gathered. This makes it
very difficult to obtain a meal for ones
self or his horse. Apprehensions are
expressed Of famine
The rebel force in the department of
East Tennessee, so far as be could learn,
was small He did not learn this from
personal observation; but from Union
men from Knoxville, whom he met With
Just before be left the State
We trust il may not be long before the
Union armies penetrate into East Ten
nessee and North Georgia, and relieve
the suffering Union men there. Once in
possession they can not be driven out !;
but will have a base Of operations from
which they can visit swift destruction
upon the rebel armies.

A GALLANT Achievement.

NASHVILLE, May II, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR ALLOW me the privilege
Of recording through the columns Of your
paper one of the most daring acts Of the
war: About nine o'clock this morning
Gen. PALMER, of Illinois, and his gallant
staff, with one company Of Col. SToKEs'
LIST Tennessee cavalry, started out on the
BradyVille pike, partly to recobnoitre
and partly for the purpose of making
pleasure excursion. They had proceeded
about five miles beyond headquarters,
(now situated at Cripple Creek,) when
they discovered a regiment of rebel cav
airy attempting TO flank them and cut
off their retreat. The sagacious Gene
raj saw at glance that they had but
two alternatives-fght or surrender, and
at once ordered his men to charge. The
brave boys, with a cheer, led on by the
undaunted General, dashed into the re-
bells with fury that completely discon-
certed their plans, and sent them flying
in every direction. The regiment proved
to be the Sd Georgia cavalry. The brave
General and his noble little band cap
tured two Captains-Captain EDWARDS
and Captain WILLIS, the latter badly
wounded-the regimental quartermaster,
sixteen privates, twenty horses, twenty
guns, together with a considerable num-
Der of side arms. Three or four of the
rebels were killed and six wounded.
Our loss, all told, was four wounded, all
Of whom were brought safely to camp.
All honor to the General and his irwin
chile boys. When your informant left
camp the patriotic division surgeon, DR.
MESzIEs, was very busily engaged taking
care of the wounded.
Very respectfully,
II. s. PLUMMER,
Asst Surg. 10th Ills. Vols.

citizens assure US that the charac-

language on the streets, in the presence

siIence every Tongue,

John w. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press,
says silence every tongue" So say the con
tractors as they reap their gain. So say the
plunderers of the peoples money. Such is
always the cry of dishonest men, of ambitious
designing official who fear to have their con-
duct exposed, that the people may be warned.
That is the policy the robber pursues when he
gags his victim, and seizes and carries off bis
property. Free discussion frequently makes
men honest when nothing ehe. will. When
men.opposes it aud seek to stiie q proper spir
it of inquiry, they give sure sign Of evil doing
This Forney who has for years made politics a
trade, and been ready to do the slavish work
of those who bid highest, is calling to every
species of dcspotism to be practiced upon the
people. Let the uarion be throttlsd gagged;
let everytongue be silenced, and the will OF
freemen heard no more. fSuch is the policy
advised, in order that those in power may do
their will unmolested and unrebuked. These
~fanaticai demagogues are enemies to liberty in
imical to a republican form of Government, and
hope by denying free speech, and prohibiting
a free, untrammeied press, to carry matters with
a high hand, regardless of the rights and wish
es of the people The American people must
learn, if they have not already larned, and
exemplify the doctrine chat s~'eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty."-Portsnlouh Times.

Expressing Opinions.

The same power that caused the arrest of
Mr.. Vallandigh m and sent him into exile
would arrest others for truthfully expressing
their opinion Of the act. The treatment of
Mr. Vallandigham has produced a feeling of
Indignation and smothered wrath among the
Democratic masses that knows no bounds
The man does not live, who has any regard
for truth, that will say Mr. Vallandigham ever
uttered a word or did an act designed by him
to destroy the Constitution or overthrow the
Union. In all his speeches he has plead for
The Constitution as they have existed since
1887. He travelled seven hundred miles to
vote for Stephen A. Douglas, and thereby
prevent the election of a sectional President,
and after Lincoln was elected he supported
every compromise presented to Congress, any
ono of which, VIC are well assured, would have
avoided war and saved the Union. The peo-
pie do not regard alone the punishment in
ficted upon this distinguished patriot but
they kesnly feel the inroads made upon the
scared rights of every American citizen-the
liberty of freely citicising the conduct of our
public Sc ryants,
What are we with letters on our souls, a
And padlocks on our lips?

but the lie ofJG, and with the ~Uiolent pre-
sumption that even such as h >would not SO
publicly publish SO notorious a misrepresenta-
ton, it is only natural that his statement should
engender a feeling against us. Everybody
who read our article, in which the line quo.
ted by the Times occurs, knows that we were
not referring to a Soldier, but to a cowardiy
blatherskite, WHO left the army just at the
time that there was danger in renal ming with
his men, and came home to abuse his neigh
bors and fellow citizens. That kind of cat
tie we do despise, but for the soldiers in the
field who attend to the duties and bear the
burdens right ully imposed upon them, we
have as much respect as any one. Yet such
lying statements as that in last weeks Tines
are intended to and in some instances do i'm
pose upon a few who are either extremely
credulous or natural born fools.
