Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1864-08-31
The siRns or the Times,

While news from the seat of war up to
date is not exactly Of such nature as win
satisfy the thoughtless and unrehecting, the
tenor of it is, nevertheless, all that could be
expected by those who are well informed in
the premises, and who do not allow their
zeal to run away with their discretion. I'm
fortunately, we have considerable number
OF the latter class of persons interspersed
among the loyal masses of the North, and as
they, like all non-combatants and women,
are aptto be blatant and loud in proportion
to their insuficiency, they make themselves
heard in manner that one would hardly
think the paucity of their numbers would
justify, and sometimes succeed in producing
the erroneous impression that they furnish
an index to the feelings and views Of the en-
tire country, than which no error can be
more gross, and no impression more preg-
nant with untruth. -
The rebel armies are in full fight down the
valley Of the Shenandoah, and whether they
manage to escape with their plumber (Which
seems unlikely or not-the certainty is that
the valley will never more be allowed to be
polluted by the presence Of rebels in arms,
and this their great source for supplies Of
cereals being cut off, and Richmond beleag
uered, as it will soon be, the ultimate result
will be the same as the fate Of Vicksburg.
Sooner or later this will be the case. We
should like to hear of the speedy downfall of
the rebel Capital, but we are too we'll aware
OF the multiform phases assumed By events
between two large armies under wary-leaders
and too well satisfied with the military skill
and remarkable prudence of the Lieut.. Gen.
eral of the Armies OF the United States, to
indulge in gloomy forebodings, merely be
cause our views in regard to the movements
of the Army Of the Potomac do not seem to
be verified by the immediate results.
In our financial relations, the apprehen-
sions INDUCED in by many on account of the
resignation of Secretary Chase, do not GER
tainly seem to be verified by the present con-
dition of the money market, which quotes
gold at lower price than has ruled for some
time past. The present Secretary is, at all
events, fully equal to the emergencies Of his
position, and viii manage the financial
affairs of the Nation prudently, maintaining
a consistently economic policy from first to
last. The trash sometimes talked here to the
effect that the decline in gold in this city is
but local and temporarily caused by the In
dian troubles eastward, is too silly to need an
answer, and can impose on nobody but those
so much habitudted to being imposed upon
that they have forgotten how to use their own
Judgment, and we are sorry to state tnat this
community numbers its full share of such.
In fine we think, that in view of the mag
nitude of the war for freedom in which we
are now engaged, we have great reason to be
thankful that our prospect Of final success is
so certain, and that this war has hitherto
been conducted so as to be productive to our
own citizens Of as little hardship and discom-
fort as ever yet fell, to the lot OF people en-
gaging civil war of such colossal proper
