in asserting that IN his Judgment California would
have been a much rcher and more prosperous
Safe II her circulation had been a mixed instead
Of an exclusively metallic one; th,t she has not
only failed to cooperate properly with other
States in maintaining the government credit, but
has misapprehended her own Interest in the dis
continuance Of the use Of paper money within her
limits. No country eau prosper for any consider
aole time where money command, so high rate
OF interest a, il does in California, aud nothing
would lend more directly to reduce that rate Of
interest than the introduction of sound paper

LEE PARTING WITH us Army.
When Lee returned to his army he rode along
tho lines, reduced now to handful Of men
probably not exceeding ten thousand-and was
received by loud cheering and other demonstra-
tons OF affection. lie had always had the re-
pHt and confidence Of bis men They have
believed in him more than in any other officer
jackson, by his dashing qualities, oluld rouse
their enthusiasm, blt hc was tyranical and want
ing in administrative ability.
At last came tho hour Of parting with his
officers. Lee retained his camness and compo-
sure, but has officers could not keep back their
tears. 1t was TO DO their last meeting. lie
was to lead them no more in battle.
The occasion brought before them an acut
sense that all was overall ost--their sacrifices,
snferings, heroism, had been in vain that
their pride had been humbled that instead Of
being ylctors they were vanqulshed that per
hips history and the impartial verdict OF man
Kind the world over and in all ages, would hold
them responsible for all the blood which had
been shed, Ii was a sad hour TO that body of
men IN gray, wearing the stars Of coniederacy
n3 longer existing except in name.
CONCLUSION.
Gen. Grant issued orders for Sheridan TO
move on TO DinvlIle. The infantry 10 return
'ng towards Petersburg. small ioroe has
been sent to Danyille. The main body Of
'roops will be stationed near City Point, tll it
is seen whether they are needed IN other places.
The rapldity Of Grants movement in the
pursuit Of Lee, or rather the movement TO cut
him off from his chosen line Of retreat, is sufh-
cent to establish Grants reputation as a great
commander. He not only holds on persisently
to position once attained, but gains new ad
vantages BY rapidlty OF movement never per-
formed BY Napoleon. IL has been a short cam
paign, but one Of great vIgor, which has been
attended BY tuccess such as had not been au.
ucIplted even by the most sanguine Of US all.
On the tirsi day Of the month the rebellion
was formidable in appearance, but what seemed
substantial has vanished like bubble into
thin ar. Ii has been accomplished by that
grand old army Of the Potomac and its Younger
but not lees energetic ally, the army q tho
James. Surprisingly glorious are their detds
Of heroi'm, their endurance, valor sacrifices,
suffering, the oppressed of all lands-for lbsrty,
love and relig ion-for the welfare of the human
race through time and eternity.

FREsuErs, AND THEIR CAUSES The Brt,le-
boro Phenir has on article with the above head. /.
in which the editor argues that the destruction Of
the native forests Is the puucipsl cause Of the

The theory is that where tne forests remain the

rain; but where the trees are cut Off the land is
entirely exposed to the sueuce OF sun, rain, snow
aud wind the snow mehs rapidly, and freshst
