THE TRIBUNE BuLIlSo GolD.-The followin,

shows, therefore, the admirable consistency
and unanimlty Of that precious journal. 1t is
remarkable also because il proves that the
so called "loyal" members of the Tribune As

the sake of their pockets. 1t is remarkable
again, because il is an evidence that these Til

premium on gold Here ia the extract, with
the 7ribune's own italics:-

At first sight the above paragraph read like
bit of Bunsbysm, or an essay by the author
Of the famous !" Elbows Of the Mincio, formed
by the sympathies Of youth" But the matter
is really more serious than this. We know
that several editors Of the Tribune are en-
gagged in gun, provision stock and other
specuat'ons on their own account and that
Evidently, then, the financial editors Of the
Tribune are among the "speculators for an
advance" who are much disturbed" They
arc anxious to keep the premium up until g the
close Of their speculations." This explains
why they try to alarm capitalists, and holders
of gooes, and operators 10 railway shares, SO as

poor Greeley explain this new and fragrant
proof of the Tribune's completely with stock

THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN lILTNoTs.--The
fires of the rebellion, though apparently ex-
tnguished in Missouri a year ago, are still
smouldering in many places, and ready at any
moment under a favorable breeze to break out
again. The late affair at the village of Charles

for Charleston are the order Of the day In
both States. We presume, however, that Gen.
Heintzelman, without much fuss or trouble,
will quiet these copperhead outlaws, and ferret
out and suppress their schemes and combina-
tons for a reign of bushwhackng, murder
and robbery.
Nor INvrrED.-The Tribune Of Wednesday

A HINT TO GENERAL GRANT.-It seems that
General Grant, in arranging matters for the
coming campaign in Virginia, is pretty con-
stantly passing to and fro between Washington
and the Army Of the Potomac. The road, we
understand, is we'll guarded along the whole
