ErrEcrs OF OPERATIONS IN GoLD.--A Philadel-
phia paper in some observations on the gold dis
turbanco, says:
Bur these gambling combinations in gold stimu-
late and invite combinations in flour, and beef and
pork, and other nccessares Of life and in this wav
the people are made victims all around. sue

tor desire for "coucr" in beef or butter or
mess pork coffee, or clover seed or any available
commodity. Thus beef was forced up to 40 cents
q pound weeks ago, when there was an ample sup
ply; and thus a combination of kindred character
is trying to force mp the price of mess pork in Now
York now. In this way the passion for that species
of gambling spreads, and the people not only have
TO pay the increase Of price in consequence Of the
rise in gold, but they suffer from the eytortion Of
all other combinations for Corners" in the ueces-
sarcs Of life. The Government by the late act of
Congress, struck % blow at the root of all these
offences, and Hhot's whats tho matter" over in

The following very remarkable article ap-
pears in the official organ of the Administra-
ton, edited by John W. Forney lie says
From the Washington Chronicle
The Result.
Any man who fancies that we are aolnr to
got to Richmond without further and most
determined fighting, is mistaken. The men
weight are Americans. They are frec.born
citizens, and Of the proudest of the proud
The rebel army OF Virginia is composed of
the elite of the Southern people. 1t rockons
in its ranks men Of education and positionF
full of the pride Of family, and accustomed to
exalt courage into a God-ike virtue. They
are burning with passionate antipathy to a
people whom they have thoroughly msunder-
stood, formerly despised, but are now learn
ing to respect They are not to be cowed,
though, when thoroughly vanQuished, they
will have the manhood to own it, But, I'M
til they are vanquished, they will fght with
an energy and a desperation that must com
mand the admiration Of every heroic spirit,
even while deploring their folly and despis.
ing their cause. The body of Lees army is
made up of veterans, who are used to expos
ure, familiar with hardship, onured to dis
cipline, and are mistaken by the thunders Of
battle. Such troops can be beaten only by
succession Of desperate struggles Nor are
they likely to become demoralzed They
will yield to an inevitable necessity only
when they recognize it as inevitable. That
they will be made to feel this, we have not
the slightest doubt

The passenger train, says the Mssissippian of the
llth, ON the Alabama and Tennessee River Railroad
which lett here at the usual hour yesterday morn
ing, arrived at Blue Mountain last night at II
o'clock, where it was stopped by our military au-
thorihcs and ordered TO return this morning, at 9
o'clock, it being reported that force of Yankee
cavalry, twelve hundred strong was at Ashville,
ST. Clair county, thirly-dvo miles above Taadega
10 was thought that Tie Yankees had divided their
iorcos into three columns, with view it was sup
posed, of striking Taladcga, the Coosa River
Bridge and Monteyallo. We have a guard at the
bridge but not sufficient to hold it against such a
force as is reported on the way there. Gen. Clan
tom we are glad to learn, is in the encnlys rear and
pursuing them. The train left this morning at the
usual hour but will probably not 90 farther than
Montcvullo or the Coosa Bridge twenty miles be-
You'd there, We hope, however to get further and
more satisfactory information by it this evening
