The following resolutions were passed at
mass meeting Of the Federal prisoners
confined at Savannah, Georgia, Sept. S:

United States to inquire into their condition

The Gould & Curry.

The following from the "Stock Re-
marks" of the S. F. Me,cs Letter of Satur-
day last, gives the San Francisco notion
about the depreciation of the Gould s
Curry stock:
"The past week may be said to have been
monopolized by the fortunes Of one mine !;
but that our leading one. The tremendous
fall in Gould & Curry has been the general
subject of conversation, and still exercises the
minds of our quidhuncs. 1t is true, all the
larger and dividend paying stocks have SYM
pathized with Gould & Curry ; but not pro-
portionately, and the question that is on
every ones lips, whats the cause Of this
continued depression !" remains to this hour
unanswered. We, ourselves, believe this
cause to be multiform; and as no one appears
sufficient, we will proceed to state the several
causes which in our judgment have produced
this sudden panic on the market.
In the first place, it is fact that certain
Influential holders have given large orders 70
sell, and their opinion has biased many
smaller people.
Secondly, the trial now pending with North
Potosi exercises on many persons depreSS-
ing influence. Whatever may be thought
here, opinions are pretty evenly divided as 10
the two leads in Virginia City. /.
Next, the appearance in the mine OF the
differentiated mass or streak of porphyry-the
much talked of horse-weighs heavily with
unreAecting or timid holders. Such events
are not only common in good mines, but may
be considered peculiar to them, and are
usually accompanied by rich pockets. we
will not refer to flying reports of poor ore IN
the lower level, and so forth, for we believe
them to be groundlcss, and merely engen-
dered by the natural desire of all parties to
account for what is strange, and of some par
ties to spread abroad what is damaging.
Concurrently with the above incidents-per-
haps ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the reduction IN
the number of employees, long contemplated
by Mr.. Bonner. This is merely an economl-
cal arrangement as to which the Superintend-
ent is best competent to judge. In word,
we believe the panic to be without founda-
ton; and we are aware Of steps already IN
operation tending very materially to increase
the aggregate of pay ore in this, the richest
mine Of the Pacific. We have confined our
selves to the solution Of this question in our
remarks, because it is literally the question
of the day, and we trust we have made it ap-
parent that though many concurrent reports
may produce panic, it by no reason follows
that any one Of them is true. The fact is,
mems minds at the present moment are I'M
settled, and great deal Of harm may easily
be brought about in season like this OF dis
couragement and deception"

New ERA IN PoRTRAITURE.-We notice
the following in a late number of the
New York EreninS Post: A new era in
portraiture Is predicted from the discovery OF
Swan, who presents solid life-like likeness
of any one, inclosed in a tube Of crystal.
The effect of the new process is to exhibit
the subject of the portraiture with life-lke
yerisimilitude, and in natural relief. You
take up small case, and look through what
appears to be a little window, and there
stands or sits before you, in pleasantly
lighted chamber, marvellous efhgy Of lady
or gentleman, as the case may be. The pro-
lection of the nose, the moulding Of the lips,
and all the gradations Of contour, are as dis
tinct as if an able sculptor had exercised his
skill but the hair and the flesh are Of their
proper tint, and the whole thing has singu-
iarly vital and comfortable look. Indeed,
were it not for the reduction in size, it would
be difficult to avoid the belief that an actual
man or woman, in ordinary dress, and with
characteristic expression, was presented to
your eye. The Swan system is about to be
introduced into the United States.

GRANT AND LEE.-Nobody disputes the
fact that Lee is a great General, and ham
dies his troops in mastery manner. He
is undoubtedly brave and skillful, and in
rebel estimation, is far superior to any officer
they have got. But in Grant he has found
his full match. Grant has more faith in
square face to face fighting than in strategy,
though master OF that science. He under
stands Northern character, and reposes en-
tire confidence in the pluck and endurance
Of his soldiers. He has great faith in the
bayonet, and in close combat. This grows
out Of his Scotch nature, which fears not the
face of clay. With cold, imperturbable te-
nacity he can hold column of men under
the most dreadful fire, and adhere to grip
with the yigor OF mastiff. 1t is Grants
lion heart that wins. Lee is a valiant man |;
but his courage is not perfectly awful like
that Of his opponent. Grant will not give
way until his army becomes a total wreck
and its remnants are uncomfortable. All
the pride, dash and desperation of the rebels
have thus far ayailed them nothing. Grant
seems to have placed before them the alter
native of retreat or humiliation. He has
made up his mind to go to Richmond, and if
ammunition and soldiers do not give out, all
hades cannot stop him.-Chicago Tribune.

The NATIONAL LoANs.-The confidence
Of the people in their cause and their Gov
eminent is shown in nothing more signif-
cantly than in the unAagging ardor with
which the Government loans are TAKEN
They give every man who invests direct
personal interest in the maintenance of the
Government in which he thus becomes a
stakeholder. The subscriptions to the lO-4O
loan reported at the Treasury up to the 18th
Of May amounted to a hundred and sixty
millions of dollars. Could there be more
desirable investment 1t is to be redeemed
in coin, although the rate of interest is only
FIVE per cent. in gold, it is now equal to nine
per cent. in currency. 1t is exempt also
from State or local taxation, which may be
reckoned to add two or three per cent. more
to its annual.value, making productive Sc
curity which might satisfy even Shylock him
self. 1t continues to be taken at the rate OF
nearly million day.
The argument of an overpowering and un-
manageable debt drawn from the history Of
other countries does not apply to this. The
power Of producing wealth upon this CONT
nent is almost infinite. 1t can be measured
only by our resources, and they are incalcu-
liable. After some centuries, said Macaulay,
when your population is as numerous as
ours, you may know something of our per-
plexities and troubles. But it is well for US
that our great and costly struggle occurs in
the very yigor and flush Of our youth, with
an exhaustless continent subject to an in
domitable energy.-Hayper's Weekly.
