a Good Move.

The New York Times states that there i.
general move among the women of that
city to discountenance wearing expensive
imported goods, and confne thems elves to
! the use of home fabrics. A similar move
has been inaugurated in Washington. II
both men and women would league together
and pledge themselves to use only articles
raised or manufactured in America, gold
would fall one third in twenty days, and in
few months would be as plenty as in days
gone by At the port of New York our i'm
ports during the month Of March last were
nearly twenty-iour millions, against less than
nineteen last year. And this is at the for
elgn specie cost, which reckoned in our pa
per currency with the price Of exchange and
freight added would rise to sixty millions o.
dollars. during the same month our ex-
ports had been two millions less than last
year. Gold is constantly going from US t.
pay the balance. Nearly $3,O00,O0O in spe-
Gle left New York last week. 1t is the con.
tlnual drain of specie from this country &c
others that keeps gold up to 81 high pre-
MUM. Let the people Of America exhibit {
patriotic and seli-sacr:fcing spirit, and We
Will abstain from the use of imported arti
cles-both in dress and ornament-and sc
far as possible confne ourselves to the USE
OF home manufactures,-lett them make thi.
resolve aud adhere to it, and in few months
geld vii! demand only nominal premium
From California and other mines we are con
stantly receiving gold, and if we can retain
1t for few months it will be freely circula
ting in our midst. Among the less wealth,
the additional tariff of so per cent will checl

we must remember that there are many per

example of economy in these matters ant
the people will not be slow to follow.

FROM SHREVEPORT. joel Burgess, Fed
eral prisoner, who lately escaped from
Shreveport, La, has arrived at Little Rock,
Ark, and reports that at Shreveport he saw
two gunboats, one of which was iron-clad,
called the Webb. There were, however, no
guns aboard her, they having been taken out
to put upon the Notifications. He also
counted thirteen or forteen transports. They
have good pontoon bridge there and earth
works TO protect it. But there are no forth
fcations to oppose river attack. The town
is built on a high bluff. The camp for the
prisoners is below the town ana two mile.

were in good health and had no hospital
At the time Mr.. Burgess escaped twenty

Mr. Burgess, after all he has Seen OF the

the Federal authority.
