WHAT SHALL WE Dop


The San Francisco argus of last SatuS-
day good paper, that gives an account
of an action in one of the Courts of that
city last week, the particulars of which,
as stated, are anything but creditable to
the defendant, who is mill-man " OF
this town. 1t is a story of highly dis
honorable transaction, the defendant hay
ing collected quitea sum in coin, and
threatening to pay it over in greenbacks.
Concerning the affair, the argus says:
"Should this threat of paying in greenbacks
be carried into effect, we suggest to the miners
of Nevada Territory, one mode ofpreventing
a repetition OF such highly dishQnorable con-
duct, and that is mot by advertising the de-
linquent,) but by the appointment of a select
committee to administer COAT OF TAR, and
to prevent the party " catching cold, let 1t
be carefully covered over with feathers"
ALI right, neighbor. But what shall
"the miners of Nevada Territory do with
those San Francisco Stock holders who
send over greenbacks to pay assessments,
leaving their Secretaries to pay off the
miners herewith at 40 cents on the dollar J
They can't get hold of their persons to
" tar and feather them.

THE DISCOVERY OF REBEL SIGNALS
The New York ISib,me correspondent writes
rs follows The Cincinnati Commercial and
Chattanooga Gazette are justly indignant at
the New York Herald reporter for revealing
the alleged fact that the rebel signals had
been deciphered by our signal officers, and
the rebel army movements and other impor-
tant information thus reported at head quar-
tiers. Their indignation is, however, unnec-
essary. The truth is, that early in the history
of the rebellion an officer of the Signal Corps
Captain Alexander, of the Regular Army
deserted to the enemy, carrying with him
copy of the signal code. This rendered 1t
necessary to change the code, which was
done, the rebels gaining little besides the
accession of a traitor to their ranks, on whom
they afterwards conferred Brigadier's COM
mission, in place of a better man. Alexander
is now chief signal officer in the rebel army,
as a reward for his per6dy. Subsequently, a
young woman escaped from Richmond,
bringing into our lines copy Of the rebel
signal code, which for time enabled our
signal officers to read rebel messages sent by
flag from one point to another of their lines
during the Peninsular campaign, in the spring
Of 1852. By change in their system, how
ever, this was soon put a stop to, and since
that time the whole has remained a sealed
book. 1t is within the power of either party
10 so mystify their communications by the
transposition of the alphabet and figures, as
to defy detection. Besides, it should be borne
in mind that signaling by either party is done
as much as possible under cover, so that the
station is only visible to the party with whom
the communication is made. This was un-
doubtedly an expensive " sell " on the repor-
far HE making nnhlio ench information

THE PRICE OF GoLD.-The high price of
gold can result from but one of two circum-
stances-the shortness of the supply as COM
pared with the demand, or the worthlessness,
in the opinion Of those who purchase, of the
currency which they give in exchange for 1t:
Are those who control the destinies of the
Treasury Department willing to acknowledge
that it is the latter reason? Will they admit
that the people have so lost confidence in the
ability of the administration to prosecute the
war and conduct the finances of the nation
that there is but about one chance in three
that the Indebtedness it is creating will ever
be paid? Ifnot, it must be the former rea-
son; and we think it is. 1t is childish to
talk about the price of gold being the work
of spectators and secession sympathizers.
1t is impossible for spectators to create
fictitious value upon an article ditfused as
gold was at the commencement of their ope-
rations, and is still to considerable extent
throughout the entire mass of the people;
and, better yet, which the people are under
no necessity to buy, as they have no occa-
sion to use.
The high price must then be owing chiefly
to the demand for it by some particular class
of business men for some special purpose.
That demand is clearly by the merchants for
expectation and custom dues. We are eX-
porting nothing else worth mentioning: we
import more extrayagantly than ever before ;
and while this one commodity pays our en-
tire exchanges, can it be otherwise than that
the demand shall exceed the supply, and the
price startlingly enhanced? Said a clear
headed fnancier to me the other day
"There is reason enough in the state of our
foreign exchanges alone why gold should be
not two hundred, but five hundred per cent"
and the rapid strides which it has since made
toward the latter figure are strongly confirm
atory of his assertion. These prices, then
simply indicate the market value Of an ar
ticle much needed of which the supply is
short; and are no proof that persons who
purchase are either disloyal or believe the
Government is about to break down.-N. Y.

The Dayton TRAGEDY.

The Sentinel Of Saturday after reviewing
the facts of the killing of Doyle and the
hanging of Linn, says:
In reference to the state Of the public
mind, we would say that from the time Linn
was lodged in Jail up to the arrival Of the SOL
diers, no signs of an undue excitement were
noticeable on the streets. We have not seen
or heard of any indications of mob violence,
except through the columns of the Old Pi,he,
which we think is an unwarranted and un-
justifable attack upon our town. There is
every reason for believing Vigilance Com
mittee was organized here, whose action was
taken after cool, deliberate and unimpas-
stoned consultation, and was marked with as
much discipline and regularity as if they
had been legally constituted authorities. An
uproarious hurdy institution has been sus-
pended, and its inmates, together with seve-
raj other notorious characters, have sudden
ly left town, pursuant, as we learn, to an in
Yitation from the Committee. The action Of
the Committee thus far, in consideration Of
the inefficient and uncertain condition Of our
judicial system, and the reckless practice of
carrying and using concealed weapons on
the slightest provocation, meets with general
approval.

BIs8op KAyANAUGH.

This prelate who was recently incarcer-
ated in AlcaTaz, on serious reasonable
charges, which, upon investigation and
from his own satisfactory account of him
self, the military commandant satisfied
himself were groundless, has made pub
lie statement since his release, in which he
says:
"On leaving the General, was most favor
ABLY impressed with his soldierly bearing,
and with his evident desire to perform the
delicate duties of his high station in just
and impartial manner, and shall not soon
forget the courtesy for which am indebted
10 him and his associate officers concerned IN
nv arrest. And in this connection it is
proper TO saw, that neither l, nor those Of my
friends eonyersant with the character Of the
charges preferred against me, blame any OF
the military functionaries in charge Of the
Pacific coast, for calling me to an account for
the items alleged against me. The unscru-.
pulous witness, il is presumed, has rendered
himself poWerless for evil with the officers OF
this post"
