THE Com Bull AS PASSED, by the pro-
visions of the "Gold Bill" as passed, the
Secretary of the Treasury is empowered
to use surplus gold in the Treasury for
anticipating the interest on the public
debt for any period not. exceeding one
year. The Secretary is also authorized
to offer for sale any gold in the United
States Treasury not needed for present or
future payments of interest upon the
public debt, provided always that the
obligation imposed by the act of Febru-
airy y, 1862, for providing for a sinking
fund shall not be intertered with, The
design of the bill is to enable the gov
eminent to control the gold market so
far as possible, and the Secretary Is to
do this either by advance payisent of
interest, by selling gold in open market,
or by adopting both methods, as the
public Interests may seem to demand.

dreds of wounded From the various

dreds more, but it is not easy to gather
from the reports just what the present
number is. 1t is larger by hundreds
than we can aid as we would WISH
The Sanitary commission is in want of
supplies of made up garments and bed
ding. The patriotic women have been
SO much occupied in absorbing work
of the Fairs all over the country, that
thestock of flannel shirts and drawers
stockings, slippers, and old linen and cot
ton is much reduced, The women of Aid
Societies, and all those who are not
members Of Aid Societies, can do di-
rect work superior to that of getting up
Feir, at this time, by making garments
and putting up hospital stores through
out the spring, for the pressure or the
Commission at best viii be immense.

PoLITIoAL.--The last Liberator con-
tains remarkable editorial by Mr.. Gar
rison. Although disclaiming any con-
nection with the Republican or any
other party, he says it is manifest
that the copperheads are laying out
such efforts that the nominee of the
Baltimore Convention ought TO receive
the whole strength of the Republican
party, 'for not an ounce of that strength
can be safely spared in rivalry or divis-
ion" Hence "there must be one candi-
date" and "that candidate to be success
full, must be and can be none other than
Abraham Lincoln" Mr. Chase is warm
ly praised for his magnanlmity.-
The sinister look of the action of some
of Gen. Fremont's German admirers is
adverted to, out allowing it to spring
from honest purposes, these ought togive
Way to the one overwhelming duty of
keeping the government beyond the pos
sible and control of its deadly foes. r.
Gen. Fremont has no such hold on the
masses as Mr.. Lincoln After admitting
that he has had much fault to find with
Mr.. Lincoln's administration, Mr.. Gar
riSon says .rs.3aaF - gs-s1.. .4aJf
" Nevertheless, there is also much to
rejoice over and be thankful for; ami

1MPARTIAEiTY IN MILITARY APpe1Sr-
MEsTs.--That the question Of politics
has been laid aside in the distribution
of commissions during the war has
been quite evident, from the large
lumber of Democratic Generals in
the service, and now we have in the
following statement of the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Ex-
press, distinct acknowledgment of the
fact by the opposition:
} "Since the beginning of the present
unfortunate war; some five hundred gen.
eral officers have been appointed, and
not in one case thus far have political
considerations entered into the case of
the appointed. During the Thirty-sey-
enth Congress, the Military Committee
of the Senate, composed OF four Repub-
licans and three Democrats, entertained
1923 appointments, and in the present
session some 1000, and the Committee /.
assert that not one party vote has ever
occurred in the Commute room on re-
porting favorably in the case Of any
man." - F5..5-.'- - --a.,0. =.
