How to Force Down Gold.

With gold at 6Ss and rising, it becomes
matter of considerable interest to Know
how it is to be "forced down " The Chi
cago Tribune says Congress can do it, and
tells how, as follows:
l. lax out Of circulation the four hun
dred millions of unconstitutional bank
issues, and thereby reduce the enormous
paper Imitation nearly one half below its
present dimensions. This measure would
accomplish immense good to the whole
country.
Q. Offer to the public Immediately five
hundred millions more of government stock
the interest and principal payable in
coin. When the former loan was all taken
another of simil4r character ought to have
been Immediately offered to the public.
Unless greenbacks can, at all times, be
converted into gold interest paying bonds,
they will inevitably depreciate. Every
body but the members of Congress knows
this to be law of finance.
8. The best remedy of all is increased
taxation. The present cost of the war is
three millions day, while the revenue de-
rived from taxes and the tariff is barely
half million a day. 1t should not be less
than million. There is nothing like tax
alton to sustain the credit of the nation
and induce capitalists to loan it their
money at low rate of interest. A people
that will consent to pay heavy taxes will
never seriously think OF repudiating their
debts, and their credit will always be good.

(Great applause.) When the noble young

A Man Shot by Provost Marshal.

We learn that on Wednesday last the
Deputy Provost Marshal Of Sibley county,
Mr.. Bridenthal, went to the house of Mr..
Bernard, in Washington Lake township Of
that county, to arrest his son, mere
youth, as deserter. The father, after
the demand for his son had been made,
urged him to go, and while the boy was
preparing the Provost Marshal made some
remarks which appeared like an apology
for the arrest. The boy is reported to
have construed these remarks into hint
for him to escape, and left the house with
the appearance of escaping, when the
Provost Marshal pursued him a short dis.
lance and shot him, the ball passing
through the back part of the head. The
boy lived few hours afterward. The
people of Sibley county are intensely ex-
cited over this sad occurrence, and some
are disposed to apply summary punish
ment to the Deputy Provost Marshal /;
but we sincerely hope that wiser counsel
will prevail. ST. Peter Statesman.

pondent telegraphed us at the time). We
have now received authentic information
about the result of this trial, which was
most satisfactory. to the Monitor. The
Ralf Krake was under constant fire from
the land batteries on three sides for nearly
two hours, yet when she returned to Son.
derbOrg, the ship, turrets, artillery, ma
chinery, and everything, was uninjured,
and fit to 60 under fire again at any mo-
ment. There was about one hundred
marks outside her, where the shot had hit
the plating, an. some of the crew had
been wounded by pieces of shell bursting
just over the gratings in the top of the
turrets. The reason why she had to re-
turn was that the water was SO shallow
she could not get near enough to see the
bridge, which was protected by project
ing piece of land, and consequently she
had to fire at the bridge at random, with
out being able to judge of the result She,
however, succeeded in doing considerable
damage to the enemy.

Report of General sherman.

The following is an abstract OF Henerai
SHERMANs official report of the movements
of the Fifteenth Army Corps last fall from
Vicksburg to Memphis, and from Memphis
to Chattanooga, its participation in the
battle of Chattanooga, AMI subsequent
march to the relief Of Knoxville. 1t is
remarkable account of this remarkable
movement OF. the war, written in General
SHERMANs original and independent style
1t discloses the fact that by an order of
General HALLECK he was INSTRUCTED to re-
pair the Memphis and Charleston Railroad,
and draw his supplies over it as he moved
from the west to the east. This difficult
undertaking greatly stayed his movements,
and was abandoned on the 9th of October
by order of General GRANT
Of the alleged check of the Fifteenth
Corps in the battle of Chattanooga, Gen
eral SHERMAN says:
The movement seen from Chattanooga, five
miles off, gave rise to the report when even
Gen Meigs repeated that we were repulsed on
the left 1t is not so The rear attacking col
rims of Gen. Corse Col. Loemis and General
Smith were no. repulsed They engaged in a
close struggle all day, persistensly stubbornly
and well.
Then the two brigades of General John E.
Smith fell TACK as described, and the enemy
made a show of pursuit. but were caught in
flank by the well directed fire OF our brigade
on the wooded crest, and hastily sought his
cover behind the hill. Thus matters stood
about o'clock T. NJ. The day was bright and
clear, and the ampitheatre of Chattanooga lay
in beauty at our feet. l had watched for the
attack of General Thomas early in the day.
Column after column of the enemy were
straining towards me. Gun after gun poured
its concentric shot on us from every hill and
spur that gave q view OF any part OF the ground
held by us
1t was not until night closed in that l knew
that the troops in Chattanooga had swept
across Mission Ridge and broken the enemy's
centre.
In summing up what the 18th corps did
during the period of incessant battle from
the 22d of September to the middle of De
cember, Gen. SHERMAN says:
1t will thus appear that we have been con-
stantly in motion since our departure from the
Big Black until the present movement have
been unable to receive from subordinate COM
manders the usual full and steady repOrs of
events, and have therefore beeH compelled to
make up this report from my own personal
memory; but as soon us possible subordinate
reports will be received and duly forwarded.
In reviewing the past l must do justice tc
my command for patience. cheerfuiness and
courage which officers and men displayed
throughout, in butte. on the march and in
camp, for long periods without regular rations.
He pays high compliment to Gen W.
F SMITH, for his ability in the command Of
engineering operations around Cnatta-
nOOga.

and that all of this, sooner or later, must
be repaid by rigid taxation.
We think with Congress that the Nation
al faith is pledged to the amendment
above referred to. for the purpose of seeur-
ing sinking fund, and we further think
that the only way Of preventing further
depreciation of orr currency, is to make
the business cf war for which we are in
curing this Indebtedness a speedy and
triumphant success. But we expect that
Congress for its traitorous conduct, and
we for our unpatriotic belief will be con-
sidered and denounced by our hyper-loyal,

perheads.
