BURLINGTON. SD. N. FRIDAY.

BuRL1NaroN, 8 p. N. Friday.
The leading markets Of the country have
passed througha week of tribuiation and
cidsd military successes and IA early coll
lapse Of the bogus Southern Confederacy,
have sent gold down with q rush. A week
ago it seemed to be determined not to go
much below 81. but since then it hasgrown
weaker, day by day. until yesterday it
touched 81 q in New York. Everything
else in the market has sympashized with
gold. Pork, -four, grain, highwines, cot
ton and general merchandise all seem to
he in state Of utter Generalization.
Throughout the whole list Of marketable
articles We see no activity in anything but
Government securities. Theyseem to be q
kind Of property that ths people want to
get hold o:.
The daily subscriptions to the seven
thirty loan now avetage about four mil
lions Of dollars. This, with the immense
amount that is received daily from internal
revenue, is giving 'sUncle Sam" all the
money he wants. The army Is being paid
as fast as paymasters can get around, and
it is to be hoped there will in future be no
more complaints that our gallant boys in
blue are not regularly and promptly paid.
The people are ready and willing to fur-
nish money with . lavish hand, and they
have the right to expect that there will be
40 unnecessary delay on the part of Gov
eminent officials in attending to this inn
portant duty.
The returns of the collectors of internal

DISCOVERY OF EMERY.-On the line Of
railroad between Boston and Albany, Que
hundred and twenty-six miles west of the
former city, and seventy miles east of
the latter, stands Chester, Massachusetts.
It has been quiet little village, known on
" for some cotton factories and the manu-
facture of edge tools. Being only twenty
eight miles from the Connecticut river, at
Springfield, an inland center and United
States Arsenal, when the war broke out
sabres naturally claimed the. attention of
the manufacturers, and the polishing of
the hard steel of these consumed no small
q quantity Of emery. AL Of this had to be
imported ut great cost from London, and
have had something to do with one of the
most important discoveries since the war
beuau-an inexhaustible supply of emery
in this very town, and of very superior
quality.

CAPTURE OF GEoRoETowS.-Th cap

closes the last port on the coast Of South
Carolina into which q blockade runner can
enter. Says an exchange: ssa
'.Georgetown distri9t Is the richest .rice
| growing section III the Union, and has
doubtless been OF great importance to the
rebels during the war. It was also one of
the heaviest slave districts, only Z, 1914 of it's
people having been whites in 1860, while
| Il, 253 were slaves. Winyaw Bay, on which
the town Is located, receives into its waters
the great Pedee, Black and Waccamaw
rivers, all navigable, and thus the posi-
ton is very important one for military
as we'll as commercial purposes. By means
Of his steamers Admiral Dahlgren can
from Georgetown penetrate far into the in
terror through the rivers we have already
named, and render efficient service to Gen.
Sherman by furnishing him with supplies
directly on the line Of his march through
the heart OF North Carolina. We presume
that this was one of the reasons for its cap
ture, as aside from this the town is very
! unhealthy, the whole surrounding country
being low and swampy. Cheraw, on the
northern border of South Carolina, where
Sherman's army had been when the rebels
gave their last news from him, is the head

River, and with this point occupied as a
