CAPTURE OF COTTON ANDsUeAR.

board that vessel in Tampa Bay, under date
of January 31st, to the Navy Department, re-
ports that having received Information from
reliable persons that q certain rebel agent, re-

stores on his premises, he (French) proceeded
on board the tender Ariel and one armed
bolts crew up the Maneter river with the de-
sign also to destroy small salt work. At the
mouth of said river he captured beat loaded
army officer named Maloney. After the cap
tuTe of the boat Lieut.. French proceeded to the
residence of a man called McNeal, who being
absent, his premises were searched and twelve
barrels of sugar found, which McNeals wife
affirmed belonged to the rebel government.

III eavy Rise In Gold.

From the Richmond Enquirer OF Tuesday.
Notwithstanding the sale of gold by the Sec
retsry of the Treasury at one time brought gola
from 20 down to As, it has again gone up to go
and Go, and that, too, upon sales made on Gov
Notwithstanding the amount of Treasury
notes was reduced by shaving off the one-third,
prices went up, and instead of money becoming
more valuable by its scarcity, the new notes
bring less than the old did, Notwithstanding
Mr. Trenholm holds six per cent non ta&aole
bonds at 1856, he cannot sell them at 81. Here
we have three important facts, which 1t Will
do we'll for Congress to consider. Gold Is still
rising and carrying up the prices OF all other
commodities.
Shut it out from our eyes as we may, gold is
the standard which measures our currency,
and daily as gold rises, the purchasing value
of our notes falls. Notwithstanding the re-
duction of the currency by shaving off one
third, prices have risen, notes have fallen, and
the Treasury is empty. Six per cent. non-t tax
able bonds would go out, and the Treasury has
money to pay Its debts.
Mr.. LincoIn's Account of the Peace Con.
ference.
From Richmond Sentinel Of tuesday,
The report of Mr. Lincoln to his Congress
relative to the late Peace Conference, fills up
space to-day which we had otherwise appro.
priated, but we defer to the natural wish OF
our readers to see the Federal version OF the
late negotiations. The Yankee papers from
which we quote applaud the part played by
the Washington Off cials, because OF the haugh.
tiness of the terms they proposed. In this,
ana In Inc terms OF the COITcSp OuucuCcs Tie
reader will see with what sincere effort our
agents sought to give peace TO the land, and
how Mr. Lincoln has again written himself
guilty of the blood Of his own people and of
ours.
The Negro Soldier Bills.
From JEFF. Davis Organ, the Sentinel
The bills introduced into the Senate and
House by Messrs. Oldham and Barksdale re-
spectively, and both of which we published
yesterday, contemplate voluntary, instead of
a compulsory enlistment of a portion OF our
domestics in the military service. This vol
untary feature must obviate in a great part, if
not, indeed, altogether the principal objections
which have been raised to seeking military
resource in that portion of our population. OPP
position may now most probably be expected
to come from the other directions, and to be
addressed more to the efficiency than to the
policy of the scheme.
But as those who propose it say there are
many facts which encourage bright anticipa-
tons of success, and, as tits. perhaps, the most
feasible compromise or experiment which can
be adopted in the present conflict of opinions
and prejudices, we hope it will be agreed upon.
The chief objection to it is the possibility that
it may not effect much good. II should be a
recomrnen dation that at the worst it can do
little harm. One great merit Of the PROPOSE
tons is, that they confine themseI yes to gener-
al provisions, and leave the details open for
such adjustment as tact shall suggest or neces-
sity teach.
