e,Gold Going Up"

The Republicans have great deal 10

are all posted There is not one of them,
big or little, but can tell you infallibly.
as often as rise is announced, the special
cause Of the so.called advance. Our
neghbor, et the Journal, (who, by the
way never speaks Of the EMPmE,) has
given much attention to this subject, and
his calculations have been found very
entertaining at least, if not instructive.

literature, and it is hoped he will make
monetary phenomena speciality.
There is only one contingency that oc-

value OF the disqusitions we have allud-

it should be found upon rigorous inves-
tigation, that the fact under consideration
does not exist-tnat gold does not rise
that it never advances or recedes, but is
always standard and stationary, 49, the
reasons assigned for the supposed huctua-
tions would depreoiate in logical value.

negative. Tho pound contains certain

THERE seems to be still perfect under
standing between the Republicans North
and the Southern rebels, 1t will be re-
membered that GREELEy said few days
ago, that the extreme men of the South
desired LINcoLS's election, and aided the
Republicans to accomplish it. The alli-
ance is still maintained, AS often as the
Republican papers desire to do special
harm to the Democracy, they copy articles
from the rebel papers. The journal OF
this morning devotes large space to ex
tracts of this character. The rebel papers
are fully enlisted in the campaign for l4lN-
COLIN. Thuy ardently desire his re elec-

TIE following resolutions passed the Uni
ted States House of Representatives, Febru-
ary IL, 1861, by nearly unanimous vote
ResolDed, That neither the Federal Gov.
ernment nor the people or governments Of
the non.slavehoding States have purpose or
a constitutional right to legislate upon or in
terfere with slavery in any of the States of
the Union
ResolUed That those persons in the North
who do not subscribe to the foregoing propo.
sition are too insignificant in numbers and
influence to excite the serious attention or
alarm of any portion of the people Of the Re-
public, and that the increase OF their mum.
bers aud influence does not keep pace with
the increase of the aggregate population Of
the Union.
Congress by n vote nearly unanimous, pa Ss-
cd the following resolution, at the extra ses-
sion of 1861
That the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the disun-
ionsts of the Southern States, now in arms
against the constitutional government, and in
arms around the Capitol and in this Nation
al emergency Congress, banishng all feeling
of mere passion and resentment, will reco lect
ouly its duty TO the whole country that this
war is not waged on their part in any spirit
of oppression or for any purpose Of conquest
or subiugation or purpose of overthrowlng or
interfering with the rights or established in
stitutions Of those States, but 10 defend and
maintain the supremacy Of the Constitution,
and to preserve the Union, with all the digni
ty equality, and rights Of the several States
unimpaired and that rs soon as these objects
are accomplished the war ought to cease
General McCIellans order, August 9, 1862
says;
The General commanding takes this occa
sion to remind the officers and soldiers Of this
army that we are engaged ia supporting the
Constitution and laws Of the United States
aud in suppressing rebellion aghlnst their au
thoritY that we are not engaged in a war o
rapine, revenge or su5jugaton that this is

armed forces and political organizations that
It is a struggle carried on within the United
States, and should be conducted by Us upon

The Commutat,Oh Clause

We have refroined, lately from saying any
thing m relation to the $500 clause in the
present conscript bill, not because Of no opin-
ion upon the subject but because the matter
was before Congress aud, we were willing to
be converted iuto an advocate of its repeal
But the more we read aud cogitate the more
thorough the belief that that clause should not
be repealed, Its repeal you'd not be regarded
in any light other than a discrimination in ia
vor of the rich man against the poor man.
The Communication clause fixes the price of sub
stitutesi repeal that clause aud no substitutes
would be within the reach of even man of
moderate means Men must be had, we
know, for the prosecution Of the war, and men
can be had by paying for them Money will
bring the men, and, instead 0f repeating a
clause that s the poor mans only shield, let
an additional clause be inserted that shall
compel the wealth Of the land TO contribute.
There is not a township in the country but
could have been relieved from every draft,
and that cannot be relieved from every com
ing draft, if the moned men Of the town will
unlock their Golfers
| We know the great argument in favor oI
! the repeal Of the commutatou clause is thai

Ea5- Flakes Bulletin (Galveston) of the 10th
inst. states that large sized schooner ran in
past the blockading fleet yesterday evening
through the south beach channel 1t seems that
she was not discovered by the blockaders un;il
nearly opposite the convent. on account of the
fog. This was at half-past one. One of the
gunboats then started after and arrived opposite
and commenced firing at her when of the col
lege, the schooner being among the breakers near
in shore. She was fired upon by three gunboals
and the sloop- ofwar one of the former being in
the main ship channel, inside the bar. the two
others each anout mile apart further southwest
and the sloop-of-war from her anchorage off the
bar. They continued firing at her until she was
nearly up to Fort Magruder, firing altogether 81
shots and she'll. Most of them fell short few
went over her and struck liz the sand hills

but no doubt out of range, as sac did not open
fire.
-Four shots were fired from Fort Magruder at
the gunboat in the main ship channel, one of
which struck very near, the others falling short.
The schooner anchored off Fort Point at halt
past o'clock and shortly after sailed for Hous-
ton.
Very luckily for her, the wind was from the
SOUTH being fair for her to come ip. The sea
was also rather rough, which made the fire of
the blockaders very uncertain.
