specuIations About the Gold Market

INV UhlAl nus wv IO'
Gold continues to tend upward from a
combination Of causes. 1t is understood,
for the present at least, that the Sub
Treasury has suspended its sales. There
is demand for the South at rate Of about
three-quarters of million a week. The
purchase for customs are at the rate OF
about 100000 per week, while the
advance in foreign exchange to near the
specie shipping point, produced an eXpec-
tatlon of an early resumption of gold exports.
These circumstances naturally for ce up the
premium. There is very Interpretation.
The price this morning ranged at 1880

are rife throughout the South. A mulatto
woman, formerly the slave and mistress Of
a man living in the suburbs of Wilmington,
North Carolina, abandoned bis plantation
for the city. He pursued her, ordered her

with the fall of Charleston commences the
tug OF war. The conflict is about to assume
its fiercest, bloodiest, deadliest phase. There
is no longer any doubt as to the temper of the

footsteps of its proud defenders traced their

Charleston, in this, s,editor's mind, was to have
been the Moscow OF the Confederacy, and
while evidently regretting the incompleteness
appeal was made to their moral courage, and
