end the question ofgold and the currency
the universal topic OF conversation here.
More than any thing else does it affect the VI
tai interests-cf the people, at this time, judg-
ing from the attention it elicits. The daily
dispatches from New York, are seized and
read With the deepest interest by Mr.. Chase
aud other cabinet officers. An advance of
ten per cent in gold is more deprecated and
feared by the Administration than Wsuld be
the loss of great battle on the RappahAn
mock / am told daily by leading Republi-
cans that if gold should continue to advance
from it's present price 10 one hundred and
ninety or two hundred per cent, panic
would ensue, that would bring instantaneous
destruction and ruin upon the county.
The present holders OF governmet securities
are fearfully alarmed at the new issue Of gov
ernment bonds--the ten-forties, as well as at
the inundation Of more treasury notes Dep
utatiou after deputation from leading com
mercial cities has been here protesting against
further issue OF government securities. In
connection with this, rumors Of dark and
mysterious character are current among lead
ing men here, that, if founded in truth as il
is believed they are, will soon startle the coun-
try in regard to the amount OF greenbacks
now in circulation. These rumors have
reached New York and are some the
causes Of the recent rise in gold. While
some of these rumors affect the personal or
official integrity of Mr.. Chase, they nevertbe-
less weaken the confidence in the greenback
securities, and make holders Of large su ms
desirous 70 get rid Of them for more substan-
tial and enduring property This accounts

are willing to risk great deal, and the singu-
lar feature is presented Of non-paying divi-
dend stocks bringing as high figures as stocks
| that pay regular and sure dividends, BY the
thong ghtful, who have no European acquain-
tauces, diamonds and real estate Is eagerly
sought for. Whatever has substantial value
and that will maintain value after the storm

seek for investment.
AS above intimated, New York Bankers
capitalists, and contractors, who have made
colossal fortunes out of the loan, and who
know tho government secrets of our financial
weakness, have in the past two or three
months been engaged in converting our gov
ernment bonds and greeubScks into gold aud
shipping it to Europe, where they suppose it
will be safe from the monetary hurricane that
will soon sweep over the country. While
they have been at this work Of converting
their paper into gold, they have been constant

Of the latter through the influence Of blind
fanatical press They have had aud now

and can, at any time it suits their purp ese,

they have made themselves perfectly safe by
