FLUCTUATIoN OF GOLD.

The following article on the huctua-
ton of gold and its cause and effect we
republish from the Boston Adretiser,
one Of the ablcst and most candid pa
pers in the country. The subject Is
one Of immense importance andistroat-
ed with skill and ability:

of human suffering. The Christian
Commission was able to relieve an inn
nensc amounto of distress in the sever
al battlcs Of the last campaign Fol
lowing close upon the heels Of blood
shed and carnage came the messcn-
gers Of relief which the Christian
Commission sent on orrands of mercy.
That work can be continued, pro

contribute of their means to prevent
this benevolent work from languishmg

over-issue of currency; doubtless spec
ulation adds something 10 the yagaries
of the gold market; but in either case,
TO select that share alone at this crisis
as the subject of legislation, is like shy
ing which one of half-a-dozon wounds,
all mortal, is the causo of q mans death
Insufficient taxation is one of our chief
and most urgent evils, and the one of
which the cure lies nearest at hand
Let Congress apply itself vigorously TO
this. Let it tax heavily and coura-
goously, trusting something to the good
sense Of the country which coils out
daily for such action; let it assure the
country that present resources are to
supply the means of warfare, and the
promises of the future to be dealt in
more sparingly, and gold viii soon re-
cover its steadiness ut more healthy
point. simultaneously with this let q
fixed limit be set to the circulation o.
the country, not only to the demand
issues, butte thoseo amixed character
which under a thin disguise add to tn,
currency Let Congress at least deter
mine upon some definite plan, which
shall not only limit the kind but thu
amount of currency in circulation
With such action thc present danger
Gus tendency of affairs may be checked
and they may be gradually restored t
a sound condition. But it must not b
much longer neglected If the duty
declined by the national representa-
tiycs, or is now long delayed, no MAJ
can fix limit to the evils which threat
en- to distress and oyorwhelm this ma
ton.

The Rev Charles G. Parker, of Wa

and zeal which does him much credit,
has been toling for several months
past without fee or reward among the
soldiers Of the army OF the Potomac.
He has been ministering to the tempo

an especial interest. Mr. Parker has
recently made a report in regard to

SPRAoUE & BLANCHARD's MINsTaELs.--
This Company opened at Lancaster Hall on
Monday evening, TO good house, and the
performances elected great applause. There
was also large audience last evening and the
performers received an enthusiastic greeting.
The company is strong one, and it is not
saying too much to remark, that it is much su-
perior in talent to many Of the Minstrel
troupes that visit our city and carry off a
large amount of money. We have not space
this morning TO particularize the members but
they are all good performers. We hope they
will meet with such encouragement as shall
keep them here, and make their institution
permanent one.
A grand matinee will be given tomorrow
afternoon for the accommodation of ladies and
children.
