who Is to Hold the Stakesf

The foreign news shows that the war, which
every body has predicted, is about to break
forth among the great Powers which have
been posturing before us so long, like so many
sladiators. It Is melancholy picture for the
moralist; but just now it presents so many
grave financial problems, that the New York
press is not very loud in its expressions of
sympathy. ,l 5-uE
The papers come to us full of specuations
about revolutionary movements, changes of
boundary lines, and the movements of troops;
but it is plain to see that the movement OF
gold is the thing about which they are chiefly
Interested. The war will send the precious
metals out of Europe, but will they come
here? The effect of Mr. McCuLLocH's sales
Of gold for expectation have had, according
to the London Times, a happy effect on Amer
lean credit; and building on this, some enter
tain the hope that the tide will turn hi:her-
ward
This is by no means certain. The London
News is of opinion that the gold will seek Eng
land as safe depository. The N. Y. Herald is
very guarded in its expressions, and the Times
speaks cheerfully, but without any very solid
argument. We do not pretend to discuss the
question at present; but we avail ourselves of
the occasion to remark, that in the flow of
gold, which so many are hoping may set to-
wards this country, will be determined to a
great extent by the Internal peacefulness of
the country towards which it turns
The unsettled condition of the United States
will be gravely considered by European capt.
tasts, before they risk the perils Of the sea,
and the perils which are always threatened
by high rates of interest. There is a good
deal in this view for the consideration of Con-
gress; but when did this extraordinary as
sembly think Of public interests When party
advantages presented themselves $50
1t will be found, however, we fancy, as the
struggle proceeds, and the golden shower falls,
that the lap Of England will catch, by far, the
greater part of the precious rain.
When the finances of this country are rein
forced, by the developed energies of the SOUTH;
when tranquility is somewhat restored; and
the agitation of vexed questions quieted down
into something like system, then, and not till
then, may we count with any certainty, on
becoming the money holder of Europe. Per-
haps we may be ready for the next great war.

CAuTIoN.-.We call the attention of our
readers to the sickly season through which
we are now passing. These cool, chilly
evenings, are-not natural at this season of the
year; and persons should be careful abuut
having their chests well protected with fan
mel, We hear every day Of severe cases t
diarrahae, cramp cholic, aud cholera morbus,
owing either to exposure, carelessness of what
is eaten, or imprudence in drinking ice water
land whiskeyl, while heated, or standing in
draught, while in state Of persprat on.
All these imprudences should be avoided,
more especially now than at any other time;
inasmuch as the very air we breathe seems
more impregpated with disease all over the
country, than is usually the case, owing no
doubt to the stat cholerique of the atmos-
phere.
We had quite a severe touch of the COM
plant yesterday, ourselves, and hence speak
from experience. can ounce of preventive is
worth pound Of cure"

hard that the daily passage of weighty We
hicles for fifty years along our streets has pro-
duced hardly any effect upon most of them,
and their surfaces is still as smooth as the day
on which they were laid in our streets II
fifty years of travel upon them has produced
so small effect, how many thousand years
must it have taken of the action of air and
salt water and icebergs to have reduced them
from their primeval ragged and jagged forms
to the rounded shapes they possessed when
first laid in our streets! The widest flight
of the imagination cannot reach even dim
conception of the ages of ages which have
rolled over our earth since THE BEGINNING.

The Cobble stones Of our pavemen,

When the morning stars sang together and
all the Sons Of God shouted for joy-when
the strong foundations of this earth were laid,
never to be shaken until the trump of the
Archangel sounds the dawn of the last day
when the earliest light flashed upon our
earth from the newly-kindled furnace of the
sun--the little planet that we inhabit was in
state very different from anything we can
now conceive of. 1t was a mass of molten
rock. In process Of time-how long no man
can tell-these rocks solicited, the elemental
combinati6ns adjusted themselves by the eter-
nal laws of.chemical afinities, and the air and
water OF our globe assumed in the main their
pre- ent compositions Is5Js FL

Laus Dec.


We are happy to inform our readers that
the Military Commission, which has been sit
ting for some time on the case of Major John
H. Gee, have unanimously acquitted him OF
cruelty to federal prisoners, while IN charge
Of the Confederate States prison, at SALISBURY
We are also reliably Informed that Genl.
Ruger will approve the findings OF the Com
mission.
We copy this gratifying announcement
from the Raleigh Progress Of the 18th, and
congratulate Major GEE upon his acquittal.
His sufferings have been protracted, severe,
and unnecessary. His aequittal VS. complete,
He was defended by Colonels HOLLAND and
WILDER, the first a Southern and the last
Northern man, of whom the Raleigh Sentinel
speaks in terms of warn praise. 1t says:
But Col. Holland had known Major Gee
from bis youth, and Col Wilder had known
him only to love him, and they resolved to
beat back and overcome; at any cost OF labor
and toll and expense, these prejudlces, to save
their innocent friend from an ignomlnlous ana
tragic end. They were sure Of his innocence,
and hence they never tired In their efforts TO
save him au ls
If the people of the North would only be
instructed by the course of Colonel WILDER,
that +" harmony which Mr.. ARP don't believe
in, might ultimately be established, and peace
restored to the land.
Let them give us the olive branch Of Mr.
DAv1ss parole. We can understand and feel

1MrRovEMENT-The new cistern which
was ordered to be built by the Governme nt
at the Custom House, is finished, and is of a
capacity to hold $1,000 gallons of water.
Pipes are arranged so as to communicate in
every portion Of this vast building; and in
case OF fire, it could be easily extinguished
before the arrival Of the fire companies.
Another great improvement to be men

A large meeting in Franklin county, North

policy, and concludes series Of admirable
resolutions with the following noble declara-
ton: lrif LiH .534ti d .3- 81. Aa3J .la.
Resol0ed, That Us North Carolinians, we
are proud Of, and will ever hold sacred, the
memory Of our ancestors, who, at Mecklen-
burg, on the goth of May, 1775, long prior
to the 4th of July, 1866, declared, in the face
of power, that the principles Of civil liberty
should ever be dear to the whole American
people, and that we glory in the spirit and
readiness with which they hasteni to the
aid of Massachusetts,, and encouraged her in
resisting the tyranaical doctrine of taxation
without representation; and that We now,
peaceably but earnestly, protest against that
doctrine as applied to us, their descendants.
