The Wool Trade.


From the New York Shipping List.
The excitement in the Domestic Wool
market seems TO have been, in a good de-
gree, transferred to the agricultural DIS
tricts, where unusually nigh prices are
ruling-95GlO0c cents, and upwards, having
been paid for choice grades OF the new
clip, with large buyers both for immediate
and future delivery. There is said to be
a large number of spectators, outside OF
the regular trade, operating 10 wool 10 all
parts of the country, under the belief that
there is "mOuey in it" and so sharp has
the competition become in some sections,
that farmers and dealers are demanding
uuheard of figures; while in others they
are Indifferent about namiig q price for
the moment. 1t appears to be the popu
lar belief among the trade, that the rapid
ity with which the new clip is passing in-
to consumption, must eventually enhance
quotations above their present level, and
that future sales are likely TO be more re-
muuerativs than those now in progress.
Bat be this as il may, from the present as
pect of affairs holders are not anxious to
realize at present unless At extreme prices.
The sales here comprise 100000 pounds

In foreign the movement continues light,

A LOVE ScExE.-We clip from a new
novel characteristic love scene. The
lover is supposed to be an Englishman
and the lady an Italian, and the incident
occurs in Italy:
One August evening, when the sun
was sinking, and the air was full of
warmth and wOoing sounds, the cicale
waking from his early nap, the muffro
leaping for the first dewdrop, the love
birds whispering inthe tamarined leaves,
Flordalisa sat with Ime, under q giant
cork-tree on the western slope. The
tower was still in Vendetta siege, and the
grave and reverend signor knew better
than to come out, when the ,Sbirri were
gone to the town. Lilybloom was sitting
by me in n mass of flowes; her light man-
tie was. laid by, that her glorious hair
might catch the first wait of the evening
breeze. Alldown her snow-white should
ers fell the labyrinth of tresses, twined
by me with red Tacsonia, and two pale
carnations Her form was pillOwed in
rich fern, that feathered round her waist
of all the fronds and plumes and stems,
not one so taper, light, and rich as that,
The bloom upon her cheeks was deepen
eu Oy my pldN NluR Will uGI udlIf anu ACA
soft large eyes were beaming with deli
cious wondor. We knew as well as He
who made us, that we loved one another,
None who did not love forever could in
terchange such looks. Suddenly, and
without word, in an estacy Of admira-
ton, passed my left arm round her lit
tie waist, drew her close TO me-she was
very near before and looking full into
her wondrous eyes, found no protest but
thrill flight: then tried her lips and
met her whole heart there. Darling, how
she kissed mel And then the terror OF
maiden thoughts. The recollection OF
her high~born pride, and higher because
God>bOrn innocence How she wept, and
blushed, and trembled; trembled, blush
ed, and wept again; and then vouchsafed
one more enhancing kiss, to atone for the
unwitting treason. Even thus l would
not be content wanted words as well.

every atom of my heart?"-"I have not

IT is fact well known to every practical
banker, that the currency cannot be in
creased by any possible means beyond
what the wants of business require. The
use OF irredeemable paper for a currency
causes a rise in prices the same as does
specie, but there is no correction by the
export of the paper. The mass depreciates
and prices continue to rise. This rise of
itself causes a demand for more currency,
which, if not supplied, will produce ter
rible distress. The rate of interest rises
under the demands of those who must
have money to sustain the new prices. A
further creation of paper satis sfies this de-
mand for "a moment, only to make it return
with teufold more urgency. This may be
illustrated in the value of the wool crop.
The census for 1860 gave the quantity pro-
duced at $4,000 900 tb. in the Northern
States. The value of this crop has risen

been charging ten and twelve dollars per

Miss AUGUSTA j. EVANS of Mobile, auth
or of "Beulah," has furnished second
novel called Macari A brief examination
will convince the reader that it is heavy,
unnatural and obscure; the periods halt
and the narrative drags, and not even the
zealous secessionism of the writer can give
readable lightness to her book. Think of
wading through four hundred and fifty
pages of book where the heroine exclaims
upon seeing herself in diamonds: SIT
would not require much stretch of imagi-
nation to believe that, by some descedeu-
tai metemsychosis, 1 had become an ex.
humed member of the sacred guomides,
torn ruthlessly from my sisterhood in Cerro
do FriO, or the cold. dreary caVerns of the
Agatbyrsi."
Such is Miss Evans in ballroom costume
nor is she more Ineligible in the roll OF
the political essayist She tells US: 'The
coufsderacy realizes that the hour has ar
rived when the historic Sphinx must find
an Ediphus, or democratic republican lib
erty will be devoured, swept away With the
debris of the other dead systems" Of
course such a woman is an art wOrshippeEi
she has the diction of the tribe; and her
latest scheme is to found school of de-
sign in South Carolina, where the widows
and orphans OF the war are to earn then
own bread by the pencil aud the chisel
and the reiustated planters are to sustain
the institution by clustering the influences
which Cosmo de Nedici and Nicholo e1'
erted in Florence" Very likely.

In the smaller towns weekly local pa

weekly paper that began a few months
since with bright prospects, has anuouu-

been a movement for increasing the price

THE Copperhead papers are ehoked
nearly to sJrangulation, by the victory
of the Kearsage over the Alabama. The
idea that an American ship should be
shown, in fair fight, 10 be better built
and manned and armed and fought than
an Anglo vessel of the same class is a
cruel modification to American Tories.
The Copperhead newspapers have no
space for details Of the victory of Kear-
SAGE. If the Alabama had sunk the

A ToRY Wall ON THE Loss OF THE ALA
RAMA-The tory organ, the London Herald
says:
ave cannot but feel grieved at the loss
of the brave ship, which was almost as
much English as Confederate, in whose de-
fence we may recognize the building cour-
age of our countrymen as well AS the chiv-
alrous impetuosity OF her southern COM
mander. The news of this combat will we
fear, carry mourning into more than one
English home. But in the end of the gal
liant ship-which was English too-there
is, after all, little to regret, much OF which
is to be proud. She sank uuconquered and
defiant in the waters of the channel, retu-
sing to the las; TO lower her flag, leaving
no trophy in the hands of her enemy. Her
career is a romantic episode in naval his
tory, and her end was worthy OF it. The
scene of her many victories Is her grave
at last, and added interests will be found
in the seas of Brittany when men tell each
other the Alabama was last seen there"
That is frank confession. The tories
did regard the Alabama as an English ship,
and grief at her loss did enter more than
one English home, not alone the homes
of poor men, whose friends lived in the
forecastle of the Alabama, but the homes
of the aristOcracy, the Derbys, the Wharn-
cliffs, the Clanricardes, who rejoiced in her
career. But the Herald had better read
Semmes' report and correct the statement
that the vessel did not lower the flag and
went down " unconquered and defiant
Semmes expressly says that he did lower
his flag. So the hifalutin on that subject
were better dropped.

A LATE Richmond Examiner has an
article discussing the Baltimore nomina-
tions. The Examiner is not pleased with
the denomination of Lincoln. 1t thinks
the whole thing looks very much like
prosecuting the war with the same unre-
lenting spirit that has been shown from
the beginning. The Examiner manifests
warm sympathy for the forlOrn Dem
Oeracy of the North, in their hopeless
prospects ofregaining power. Hear the
condolings of the Examiner, and note
the suggestions itmakes to the Democrats
in regard to their "interests;"
"The Democrats of the North who
have waited for four years, not too pa
tiently, trusting to regain the power and
profit which they but lately held to be a
Democratic inheritance, must naturally
be provoked beyond endurance at this
audacious attempt OF Lincoln and Seward
to ride roughshod over them four years
more.
We learn that Democrats are now uni
versally turning their thoughts to Mr..
Franklin Piercea and the Connecticut Sey~
mour as their nominees for President
and Vice President. To give them the
least chance of electing these two advo-
Gates of peace, Grant must be defeated,
the invasion must collapse and die out,
and the very name of war must become
a word of horror, utterd with lOathing
execratiou. Therefore, it is the interest
of the Democrats to do their uttermOst to
weaken the Federal army, discredit Fed
al finance, in short, to extinguish the par
ty which invented the war and governs
it and lives by it"
Precisely so. That is just what
large part of the party hereabouts, CALI
ing themselves Democrats are doing
whenever an opportunity occurs, and it
must be highly gratifying to them that
their efforts are thus appreciated in reb-
eldom.

paper money represents ten times the cap
ital that wes last year represented by
$4,000, 900. When we consider the rise
in all descriptions of commodities we
cease to be surprised at the scarcity of
money Notwithstanding the immense issues.
If the paper money, about 500 millions
now out, should be doubled next year,
the real supply of money would be much
less, and the rate of interest very high,
because all prices would relatively ad-
vance and absorb the paper.
