Here We see very moderate appTeCluliuH W
prices, even after the commencement Of the
War, until our Currency had been greatly d.
luted and ex banded by the issue OF Greeubacks
irredeemabio in coin. And now Corn and
Pork are worth in Currency nearly or quite
treble tLeir price three years ago, while other
staples have nearly or quite doubled in nominal
cost.
There IS very much of Mr., Blodget's article
to which we yield limited and qualified assent;
but we do not believe tho difference between
Gold and Greenbacks wholly due 10 speculation
or panic or both together Nor can we credit
the assertion that any largo amounts of Gold
have been sent abroad for security By frightened
capitalists though there may be fools among
these as well as others. We hold the e,!lux OF
Gold from our country mainly due to the large
excess in value Of our Imports Of Merchandise
over our Exports OF ProducS to the very fact
tina. impels one neighbor, On settling his run
ming account with another AID finding himself
in debt, TO hand over the balance in money and
thus square the account.
Mr.. Blodget force,s that very large amounts
Of our Government, Railroad and other Stocks
and Bonds, afe held abroad, and that the an
nual interest thereon largely contributes to
swell The balance Of trade against "a. Hence,
if we exported and imported equal values of
goods, We shculd still have to send abroad large
amounts Of specie to balance this interest ac-
count.
Undcrstand that we are not deplpl;pg the ex-
port Of Specie. While the War hsts we must
continue to export it, because we do not and
cannot spare the needful Produce to balance our
account. And we would far sooner send abroad
Gold than Government Stocks at current rates.
Mr.. Blodgct thinks Gold enjoys with MS at
present an excessive, factitious value. If he
meant thereby only that We arc letting our
Government Securities sell far too cheap, we
should entirely agree with him. II is shame
that European with 100000 in Gold can buy
more than $500, 900 Of our Public Debt, bearing
five per cent interest, payable semi-annually,
with tho principal ten years hence, in gold
That is TO say: any foreigner who has it may
lend our Government 100000, receive thereon
ten per cent. per annum for ten years, and
then receive back double his principal in
vested We wish this were otherwise
If our men of great or of small means would
only Keep them out of Petroleum, &c, till we
get through the War, and lend every dollar to
the Government, it would be better for them
and for all of us. But we shall not correct their
mistake by trying to make Greenbacks the abso-
Lutte standard of value and 80 prove an enor
nous exaggeration of the value Of Gold. Better
dig down to tho everlasting rock and lay ON
foundation upon it. Thus anchored, we shall
not be shaken by every breeze, but shall buffet
the storm undauntedly until the not distant re-
turn Of Peace.

Loss OF THE GOLDEN RuLE.-The Sac.
ramento brings intelligence Of the loss oil
another splendid steamship in the California
trade, the Golden Rule. It appears she did
not 60 down like the Central America, over.
powered BY an angry sea, or perish BY the
enemy that destroyed the Golden Gate, but
was lost BY criminal neglect. It is heavy
charge to bring against sea captain, that he
has run his ship upon the rocks, and doubIy
severe is the accusation when it is charged
that il was done through drunkenness and in
exeusable carelessness and neglect. 1t is
perhaps well for Captain Dennis that no lives
were lost BY the shipwreck. We hope tina,
this disaster will be \ warning to the Steam
ship companies and Steamboat men. The
travel BY the two great lines from New York
to San Francisco is too great, and the amount
Of treasure which is entrusted to the care of
the Steamship companies, too enormous to
allow Of the vessels being placed under the
command Of incompetent or drunken men.
From the intelligence which we have. it seems
that the captain Of the Golden Rule was I'm.
ut for the position he held, that he not only
iucapaci.ated himself by deliberately getting
drunk but that his conduct after he had placed
the hundreds Of lives and millions OF dollars
Of property in his charge in peril, was dis.
graceful and brutal. Such conduct deserves
punishment, the Severest punishment, and
ws hope that the affair will be thoroughly
sifsed, and that justice will be unSparingly
dealt out.

TO perfect their titles to adopt the neces-

kind attended to ourseh, and found Judge
Kellogg, the Town Attorney of Gold Hill,

His familiarity with the town maps, and
existing titles. certainly give him advant-
ages second to no one else. Attend to
the proper filing of your claims to the
lots. A little attention paid to this mat

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.

The willingness manifested BY all the
rebels east of the Mississippi river, to sur
render almost Immediately after the fate
of Lees army became known, is a striking
commentary upon the brag and bluster
that always characterized their leaders.
Judging solely from the fulminations Of
JEFF. Davis and the other shining lights Of
the rebellion, we might have expected that
the valiant rebels would truly die IN the
last ditch" rather than submit to
Yankee rule" During the DAVIS and
Jacques-Gillmore conference, the former
said:
The war must 90 on till the last Of this
generation falls in his tracks, and the chill
iren seIze his musket and fight our battle,
anleSs you acknowledge our righ, to self.
government We are not fighting for slave
~. We are fighting for independence, and
that or determination We will have"
There is often wide breach between
promise and performance, and the result
in this case shows the emptiness OF rebel
oombast. No people ever manifested less
desire to achieve note riety by self-sacri-
ice, than has been shown by the rebels
,ince Lees surrender. Johnston. Taylor,
Thompson, and commanders of less i'm
portance, have shown considerable anxiety
with regard to terms of surrender. No
desire for determination has yet ap-
peared. And how is it with those lead
ers who were wont to pirate Of the last
ditch, and make fulsome boasts Of what
the South would do in its last extremity:
The language had the Spartan ring, but
the sequel has proven the baseness Of the
metal. JEFF. Davis said the war must go
on until 1.-THE last of this generation falls
in his tracks" The way in which JEFF.
made tracks across the Georgian fields, in
his wife's crinoline, may throw some light
on the ful6llment of this prophecy. But
JEFF. has redeemed his valiant speeches
quite as faithfully as his brother traitors.
Not one of these braggarts has shown the
slightest indication for determination, and
those who have not already been secured
are now flying like hunted culprits, think
ing of anything else but the redemption of
their last ditch" promises.

GoLD.-Notwithstandng the return of
peace, the suspension of army contracts,
the opening of trade with the South, and
the general movements toward return of
the ante belitm condition of affairs, gold
manifests determined disposition to keep
out Of circulation. Whiting the last few
days the market has been quite buoyant,
and quotations have steadily tended up
ward. These who were foolish enough to
believe that peace would bring the valua-
ton OF currency up to par, are conse-
quently surprised, and inquisitive as to
the cause Of this sudden stoppage in the
downfall of gold. If such persons will
overhaul their back numbers of the Sun
they will discover the cause of this appa.
rent mystery, for we have no intention of
repeating it. 1t is certain, however, that
gold has reached the ebb of the war cur
rent. That is, it has reached the lowest
point possible from war causes, and a
further decline can result only from finan-
cial circumstances. With eight hundred
millions Of currency in circulation, and
not dollar Of it redeemable in gold, 1t
cannot be expected that it will appreciate
much more than is indicated by present
quotations. A return to specie payments
would of course put gold and silver on an
equality, but how can this be effected 1t
is not probable that there is more than
one hundred millions of available gold in
the country, and it would certainly be
very unwise policy to attempt the resump-
ton of specie payments with so great a
discrepancy between the paper and the
metal money. Every business man knows
that the most trihing cause used to result
in panicky "runs" upon the banks, and
how long would all the available gold in
the country at the present time withstand
run i" from eight hundred millions of
currency: A material reduction. then, in
the volume Of currency is the only means
by which a return to specie payments can
be effected. and until that is effected we
need not expect to see gold quoted much
below the present rate.-N. Y. Sun.
