IMPORTS, EXPORTS, AND GOLD.

The New York Commercial Advertiser gives the figures
of the imports and exports at New York for fortynine
week. OF the fiscal year which ends With this month as
compared with the two years before In 1862 the exports
more than paid for the imports the produce exported
amounting to 424 $685. against 1873 66l imported
In 1888 the balance stl favorable, exports being
Sl7S7s9,5s2, aud imports $B2543,O63 This year the
balance against 10 immense, the exports falling 10
$l55 $780, and the imports sweling TO $2oo4oipia
large amount Of California gold has been shipped from
the Ishmu to Europe this year. and United States bonds
have gone abroad but this has not prevented the exports
of specie from New York from increasing In 1862 the
specie exported from that city $40 1856 VS. in 1868
was $5 91 66Is and this year is $54 500 6l7 Mean

mond cannot be relieved by men drafted now am not
now speaking Of volunteering Of the States that
turn OUT rom their existing organizations militia for
snort periods but the bill before relates TO drafting
fo our national forces aeeaby 10 laws OF draft and
say nothing can be derived through that channel aud
rom tnat source which furnish any present relief to
the army"
On the whole we incline to the opinion that if q
draft Tor more men should prove to be necessary
during the coming autumn, (though in view of the
economical maxims stated under this head on
Monday lastwe can conceive of no such necessity,
1T would be better to hold such draft under the law
as 1t now stands. The Communication oney that
may be paid under such draft, combined with the
number of men likely to be yielded by it, would
be ample to preserve our armies at the maximum
height which is compatible with just regard to
indispensable considerations of public economy and
military efficiency The maximum number of our
forces should not be allowed to exceed 500 900 men,
ANY excess over that number tends to hasten
national exhaustion and thus to defeat the avowed
object of the nation in waging war. The military
energies of the people are to-day suffering from
the waste of their strength put forth in spasmodic
efforts to swell the number of our forces under the
delusive idea that our armies will be efficient in
proportion to the number Of men we crowd into
the ranks and draw from the walks of productive
industry. In this as in all other matters of human
conduct, it is appropriate to recall the Horatian
maxim which inculcates the expediency of keep
ing within the "certain bounds" beyond which, on
the one hand or on the other-whether we err by
doing too little or by doing too much-the right
cannot consist.

Vashtngt0nJ juno lo--lU II. III.
The following despatch from Gen. Grant, dated
yesterday, ii A. NJ, at City Point, has been re-
ceived by this Department:
"The Ninth Corps this morning carried two more re-
doubts forming part of the deences of Petersburg
turing four hundred and fifty prisoners vad four guns
Our successes being followed
sour forces drew out from within fifty yards of the
enemy's Entertainments at Cold Harbor, make flank
movement Of an average of about 6ftyhve miles march
crossing the Chckahomny and James rivers the latter
two thousand feet wide and eghyur feet deep at the
point OF CROSSING and surprised the enemys at Peters
burg done without the loss of wagon or piece
OF artillery and only about hundred and fifty strag
glers picked up by the enemy In covering this move
Whrrens corps and Wilson's cavalry had frequent skr
shng with the enemy, each losing from fifty to sixty
killed and wounded but Gfcng an equal if not greater
loss on the enemy.
The Eighteenth Corps (Smiths were transferred from
White House to Bermuda Hundred by water moved out
near to Petersburg the night their arrival and surprised
or rather captured the very strong works northeast
petersburg before sufficient force could be got them by
the enemy to hold them He joined the night follow
lug this capture by the Second Corps which in turn cap
ured more of the enemys redoubts further SOUTH and
this Corps was followed by the Nnh with the result above
stated
'Ao tiooPo arc now up except TWO DIVISIONS cover
ing the wagon trains, and they will be up tonight
The enemy, in their endeAvor to reinforce Petersburg
abandoned their Entertainments in front of Bermuda
bred They no doubt expected troops from north of the
James river to take their place before we discovered it,
Butler took advantage of this and force at once
upon the railroad and plank road between Richmond and
Petersburg, which hope TO retain possession of.
Too much credit cannot be given the troops and their
commanders for the energy and frttude displayed the
last five days Day and night has been all the same no
delays being allowed any account"
Later unofficial dispatches show that at eight
o'clock this morning the enemy still occupied
Petersburg. Major Morton was killed in an as
sault yesterday.

has been led to believe
Our readers are aware that 1t has been proposed
to amend the CONSUMPTION law SO as to abolish the
privilege Of committing for military service in case
Of draft BY the payment of sum Of money, now
fixed at three hundred dollars. The motive al
legged for this proposed change is "the want of
more men speedily" To this effect Mr.. Wilson
remarked few days ago.
"The enrolment act IL now stands ia almost perfect
its framework being tho result of great deal Of ex
rience But sir think it would be very hard to draft
for three years and not give them the privilege of
ing this computation. cannot vote to do so We ,oant
nobo and zoe obtain men By drafting for one
year ought TO do for hope the vork uia Be done
in that time. move this amendment that the time
shall not exceed year. for want these two provisions
to stand together the repeating the clause allowing
the payment Of Communication money, and the other reduc
ing the time from three years to year. Leaving dis
cretonary with tho Government to fix the number ef the
mopthsT
GIVE want men now," says the Senator, and we
want them only for one year, as owe hope tho work
will DO done in that time" Its needless for us to
say that no draft ordered noao would be of any
avail in replenishing the ranks of Gen. Grant or
Gen. Sherman. On this point Mr.. Collamer spoke
what every body knows to be the truth, when, in
the course of tae debate had on the proposed re-
peal of the Communication clause, he held the follow
ing language:
