WILL GoLD DROP SUDDENLY The qucS-
ton that now agitatcs the commercial mind
is: will gold drop suddenly il Lees army
is thoroughly defeated and Richmond tax
en- The mercantile portion Of community
is anxiously awaiting the solution Of this
question. Hundreds Of country merchants
are to-day setting down in Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia and Boston waiting for
something to turn up. They don't feel like
buying just as long as they think there is
prospect of hearing something drop in the
gold market. If gold goes suddenly down.
they wisely argue that they can get goods
much cheapcn and they prefer TO- have the
stocks cheaper on the hands Of jobbers ra-
tler than upon their own. Hence there is
a degree Of inactivity in the Chicago and
Eastern jobbing streets, hitherto unknown
at-this season of the year. Jobbcrs are
anxious to sell, and country merchants arc
afraid to buy.
Looking the subject over carefully, we arc
unable to come to the conclusion that there
will be any heavy or sudden fall of gold If
Richmond-or even the entire Southern
Confederacy, should cave in this week.
Wall street is an immense power, and in
this instance Wall street is not single hand
cd. 1t has the backing Of the entire job
bng trade Of the country, and it may be
added that the country trade also, to Ger
tain extent is interested in preventing any
sudden fall in the gold market. Every ef-
fort. we believe, will be made to let the gold
market down just as easily and just as grad
ually as possible, that the depreciation in
the value of stocks on hand may be equally
divided among the commerce Of the entire
country. Our IDEAS may be wrong on this
point but It so appears to us. In case the
country .rcgains peace footing right
away, years will clapse before We shall see
gold below twenty five or perhaps forty per
cent premium, and all necessary time would
be taken to ease it down to that point
Waiting for panic in prices, seems to US
to be an Improbable use of time, though it
is evident that all merchants should buy
spa,inyly for the present.

"SpIEs" AND TH1Nes.-The country pa
pers Of Copperhead procliyities are all much
vexed over the arrest Of JEFF. Davis friend
and coadiutor, c. L. Weller, the man who
undertook by inuendo and subdued bravado
to incite low mob in San Francisco to resist
the draft, and who told them the plain and
patent lie that the National Administration
Is about to control the ballot-box with Federal
bayonets. These papers are very indignant
because newspaper reported truthfully what
Weller said on that occasion. They vent
their spleen and baffled malace by calling this
honest reporter spy, .informer, sneak, and
so on, and profess great abhorrence at such
conduct. In so doing they exhibit very. poor
taste and worse tactics. They at once invite
a scrutiny into their own dirty vocation,
which requires only glance and thought
to be seen as that Of the meauest, most vii.
famous and cowardly Of the spy sort. Afraid
to assume the bold and fighting garb Of trea.
son, they skulk and crawl like the copperhead
