The DEMOCRATIC DRoMos.-It seems there
are two Democratic National Committees
headed BY August Belmont, representative Of
the highly respectable banking house of R0tchs-
childs, in Europe, and the other by the Hon. Tom
Florence, ex-member Of Congress from Penn
sylvania. One IL the Dromio OF Ephesus, the
other the Dromio Of Syracuse. It seems, further,
that third committee has made its appearance,
headed by Fernando Wood, who might be called
the Dromio Of Bloomiugdale. So do the demo
cratic Dromios multiply. What will DO the
consequence It will be strange II the country
does not go entirely to pieces. Belmont re-
presents the great Banking and moneyed
interests Of Europe, and 1t is we'll known that
the sympathies Of capital and the aristocracy
there are against this country. Who is more
likely. then, to put in the entering wedge to
our destruction as nation than the represen-
tative Of these classes now living among US,
and who is "up to his shoulders" in all the
political schemes and intrigues of the day!

The OBSTRUCTION OF THE JAMES RIvER.-We
are satisfied that the statement that the ships
sunk in the James river were sunk by order of
General Grant-so far as that statement can
possibly relieve the Navy Department or Ad-
miral Lee of responsibility in the matter-is
not true. General Grant required the Navy
Department to make such arrangements in the
James river that bis communications would be
absolutely SAFE lie foresaw that IL such ar
rangements were not made the rams might
at any time imperil the safety Of his army, just
as the Merrimac might at any time have i'm
perilled General McClellan's army II he had
gone up the James river. The Navy Depart
ment admits that it cannot render the James
river safe in any other way than by obstruct-
Ing the channel, and obstructs it. In this way
Il construes the distractions to be put there by
General Grant He requires the navy to make
the river safe. 1t does 1t by sinking ships, and,
az II there were no better way 10 make the
river safe, says that General Grant required II
to do 90.

VINO KILLED Cock RoBlS?-THE OH JAcoBrNs
AND THE New ON CURRENCY.-The old Jacobins
in the French Revolution issued, under the
authority Of the National Convention, and to
the tune Of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity,
an immense amount Of paper money ''as-
sgnats, }" "nan OATS, g., all Of which decreased
in value in proportion to the extent Of the
various issues, until the whole mass Of the cur
rency, unlike the money that Falstatf admired,
had no purchase in it." No doubt it was very
unpatriotic in the dull French tradesmen and
mercenary vendors of eatables and wearables
not to take the Conventions promises to pay in
exchange for their goods at anything like rca-
-onuple rates; but still they would not do it. To
remedy this difficulty the Convention pro-
ceeded to fix the prices. 1t made laws COM
pelling the butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker to exchange their goods for cur
rency at fixed rates. This extinguished the
last little sparks Of vitality that were in the
currency-killed it at once and forever The
new Jacobins, fighting under the cry of Liber-
ty, Equality aud Fraternity for the niger,
have flooded our country with currency still
a little better than that France was flooded
with But it begins to look dreadful in com
parisou with the values Of necessary articles;
and so the Jacobins have come forward with
gold bill as a remedy. This is the first attempt
to fix prices, and it un6xes prices, Of course.
And we are told by the financial friends Of the
government that If matters continue to grow
worse they will fix the prices Of all necessary
articles by law--just as the old Jacobins did in
France. That Of course will finally finish the
currency, and we will come back to gold and
silver once more as France did.

Petersbarg and Rich mond- Hot w ork-
lmpsrtsnt Move ments AfoOt.
Our accounts received since yesterday morn
ing from the James river are very interesting
and suggestive. They show that active fight
ing has been resumed on an extensive scale.
and that the movements Of General Grants
forces are calculated to give the enemy con-
siderable anxiety and abundant employment.
From the brief details before us Of the night
fight of the 22d. we cannot determine Whether
the Union troops engaged were moving by
their left flank around the south side Of Peters
burg or for the passage of the Appomattox
below the town. We are inclined to the
opinion. however, that these movements now
in progress comprehend the separation Of
Petersburg from North Carolina and all the
States below, the separation OF Richmond
from Petersburg, and active operations
against both cities, by land and water, so far
as practicable. at the same time. At what
point the rebel army will DO or has boon first
required to develop its strength In the defence
of Its indispensable lines Of subsistence is
matter of doubt which will probably be dis
closed during the day.
OtucEal OSteE b JdIucS TlVcE 0Ap0uttiout ~
conjunction with the iron -clads and gunboats
Of Admiral Lee, may be expected to play
conspicuous part in the grand programme now
in the course of fulflment. 1t will require
more powerful rebel column than can be
spared without abandoning the south side, to
dislodge General Foster from the north bank
Of the James river, with his troops under cover
of our gunboats; while, If ho is not dislodged,
be may very soon, in conjunction with the
navy, work his way up into Richmond. The
late consultation Of General Grant with Ad-
miral Lee on board bis flagship is thus satisfac-
torily explained. Our powerful James river
squadron is not to stand idly looking on any
longer at this great struggle for the capital OF
Rebellion, but is pushed forward as substau.
tial reinforcement Of the army.
In the same connection, the operations Of
General Hunters forces, at and around Lynch
burg are already beginning to be felt and are
much dreaded at Richmond. General Lee is
not in condition to lose, without suffering Sc
verely, the sources and depots Of supplies COM
manded by Lynchburg; but il he has weakened
Richmond for. the purpose Of saving Lynch
burg and overwhelming Hunter the result will
probably prove this movement to be only
repetition Of Braggs disastrous experiment Of
last autumn for the capture OF Knoxville.
A very few days now, wo think, will materi-
ally advance the work Of the campaign against
Petersburg and Richmond, front. tanks and
rear.
