will continue to rise, and this being the case, q
powerful "bull" interest Is created. speculators

using every influence they can command to run it

York papers assert that Government agents are
selling gold from the Treasury at i4s, with the
view Of preventing rise above those figures, but
the effort has not been successful. Yesterday, at

TIE BRITISH MAYA late number Of tie Lon
don Quarterly Rerielr, in an article titled sour
Ships and Guns deploves the feeble condition o.
tie British navy in these terms: in the Channel
our iron-clad fleet is with few exceptions, reported

with turntables q. G., Of the Monitor pattern) and
not one of them is a sea-gOing ship. In the Medi-
teuanean there are only three iron-clads, and The
two Admirals there hoist their flags in wooden
screw line-Of-battle ships, with which it would be
madness TO meet the smallest iron-clad Of Italy or
France" Il is further stated that OF the twenty
four wooden ships on the coast of North America,
none are iron-pated, and that no gun on board any
Of them is capable Of making any impression upon
an iron-clad ship.
The Quarterly ridicules the management Of ma
val affairs in England, where Lords OF the Admir-.
atty, who are ignorant of the duties of the service
exercise supreme control over men who know every
rope and are qualified to pass judgment upon ships
and guns alike and ii iastens the indictment by
a compliment to the Federal Americans" who, in
spite Of all disadvantages, have developed forni
dable navy In spite Of the lesson taught by the
Kearsage and Alabama fight il adds, though the
utility Of heavy ordnance was thereby proved on
the very shores Of England, she has mo such guns
yet aHoat, while guns of even 10 inches in dame

TIE VIRGINIA ELECTI0NS-YIRGINIA OPINION.
Referring to the newspaper paragraph which
states that the returns in Virginia show that the

understood and represented in the Northern press.
IL has been alleged that secessionists and rebel
sympathizers have been, In many instances, elected
D Office Admit such TO be the case. II must be
remembered that the elections which have taken
place since Lees surrender have been alone for
county offices that these Offices are in no sense
political; that they are expressly, and from
the nature Of the duties, made exceptions
from the disqusll6catlons which apply TO
higher Offices; that, in accordance with
usage which has long characterized Vir-
glnans, they have reelected the old incumbents
whom they have known themselves by previous
trial faithful ministerial agents. These men thus
elected and stigmAtizsd as secessionsts and rebel
sympathizets, have, in good faith, taken the oath
OF allegiance 10 the United States, and have thus
given the highest pledge OF their fidelity and
loyalty; and II men thus qualified are not to be
regarded as ct incumbents of such ministerial
Offices, IL is manifest that they must remain va.

wise to import them from the North. lie was
satisfied, from his observation of the people of
Virginis, that they were disposed to give an ear
nest and sincere support 10 the authorities Of the
Union but they liked to exhibit their loyalty in
their own way, and nothing, in his judgment,
could more eheetaally Iepress that feeling than
impertinent efforts to dictate to them the manner
in which It best becomes them to manifest their
love and respect for the Union.--. Washington

The coal tonnage from Schuylkill county for the

the trade has taken more active turn, though the
production of anthracite coal is this year. 92l 96l
tons behind the production to corresponding time
last year. The demand for coal has increased
some and prices are firm at the old rates, but so
far there has been no advance in the price Of coal
at the mines, and the Miners Journal speaking
for schuylkill, says, nor Is there likely to be any
advance before August or September. Prices, how
ever will be no lower this season, and as coast.
