TIE TREASURY SALE OF GoLD,-The New York
Post says:
The sale of Gold upon the open market, by
which the government loses some four millions of
dollars in the difference between 1870 and l40, still
causes good deal Of comment, and is very gem
orally blamed while the good motives which
prompted the action of Mr. Van Dyek, upon whom
the largest share of blame falls, as he acted upon
the impulse of the Cuba's news, and of the secre
tary of the treasury, are nowhere assaiied
But as the power in the hands of the secretary
is an enormous one, and liable to great abuse, it
is believed that the practice, as hitherto carried
on, ought to be abandoned Instead Of selling
gold at fixed price, let it be sold if sold at ALL
at the market price, and in limited quantities, the
amount of which shall be placed each day upon a
bulletin to be placed upon the entrance OF the sub
| treasury. At 8 or 10 A. NJ, on each day OF sale
let the officers of the treasury post conspcuousIy
something like the following
| " Proposals will be received up to II O'CLOCK
| this day for the sale of one million of dollars il
| gold. The amount will be awarded to the highes
| bidder"
This, or something like this, would do away witt
all changes of Collision and profit, and every mar
would know just what to do, and just the amour
of specie which the government could or woult
dispose Of A plan similar to this has sometime
been practised to advantage by one of our larges
banks in disposing of its foreign exchange, and W
see no harm which can arise from its adoption.

Thursday Evening, June II. 1855. ( I
The movement in financial circles to-day has
disclosed further advance of fully per cent. in
rates Of Gold, and of 203 per cent. in rates Of
Foreign Exchange. The Gold market opened /
with a good inquiry at last evenings closing
figures l426l425, and some sales TRANSFERRED at
an early hour within these limits. The receipt of
New York dispatches quoting heavy advance in |
that market, created an immediate corresponding
improvement in ours, however, and on the first !
having been confirmed, and a still further advance
reported, our market became quite excited, the
result of which was unusually heavy sales at
steadily enhancing figures. We subjoin par.
ticulars Of the principal operations at private
sale as follows, viz .sl5,0 at 1922 $1,000,
$4,000 and $4,000 at l425; $4,000 at 142i; $4,000,
$4,000, $4,000 and $4,000 at lab; $4,000 at l434
$4,000 and 100000 at l433; $4,000 at 1889; $1,000,
$1,000 and $4,000 at l4i ; 900 at l444 $4,000
$4,000 S5OOO $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000 at I444
$4,000 and $4,000 at l444; $4,000, $4,000, $4,000,
100000 and Sll 600 at l45; $4,000, $1,000 and
100000 at l454 and $4,000 and 5000 at l45B.
The highest figures in the above sales exhibit
marked advance after the close of business at the
office of the Board of Brokers. Sales of Silver
have been restricted to 1900 and 5000 Mexican
Dollars at l4G and to $1,000 American Halves and
Quarters at l30@l32, We now quote Cold at

FoEEIGS ExCHANGE-The upward movement in
Gold has impaired still further strength to Sterling
and Francs, rates of which, but especially of the
former, have been further advanced about 2a98 ~
cent. The demand and supply have exhibited but
little It any increase, however, and the following
are the only actual sales for the day that have been
verified 10 our satisfaction viz $500 private ster-
ling at 100, and $4,000 bank Sterling at 100. Sales

Hard on the Hard-Shells.

A traveller called lately at nightfall at a far
mer's house in Albany the owner being from
home and the mother and daughter being alone,
they refused to lodge the wayfarer.
"How far, then, said he, "s it to a house where
6 preacher can get lodgings'
"Oh! if you are 4 preacher" said the lady
'you can stop here"
Accordingly he dismounted deposited his sad
die bags in the house, and led his horse to the sta
bic. Meantime the mother and daughter were
debating the point TO what kind of a preacher
he was.
"He cannot be presbyterian" said one, "for
he is not dressed well enough"
ale is not a methodist" said the other, 'for
his coat is not the right cut for methodist"
III could find his hymn book" said the
daughter, II could coon tell what sort of
preacher he is, And with that she thrust hel
hand into the saddle bags, and pulling out fash
of liquor, she exclaimed. LA! mother, he's
hard shell baptist.

The Indian Prisoners.

Thinking few items in re-
lat;on 20 the Indian prisoners At
Camp Kesrney might be OF interest 70 our
readers. We took occasion to pay that LOCALITY
q visit q day or two ago. The camp 10 now
under the command of Lieut.. Mitchell, OF
the Sd u. S. Infantry, and 10 garrisoned by |
one company, consisting Of sixty-six men.
The barracks of the Indian prison are three |
in number, one having fallen down . shors
| time ago. They are in miserable shackiey
condition, and during the storm of Thursday
last, one of them had to DO propped, to pre-.
| vent its being blown down. The RECORDS Oh
the prison up to the lst of JAM, when Lieut..
| Nutshell assumed command, had been kept
| in q very irregular manner. Inc nrst aifiVai
of prisoners took place some time In april
1868. consisting of 253 males condemned to
ha b.noed. 10 condsmned to imprisonment,
and I6 women and children, making total
of 292. On the 18th of June, 1864, there
arrived 25 males, 80 females, and 81 child
ran. making q total of all sent to camp OF
as Tn to the Is. Of june, 1864, the num-
FER of deaths were so, no children having
died. and but one woman. Up to Oct I'd,
1865 there was an additional number OF
deaths. the deceased ones consisting OF 10
; men, 6 children, and l woman. up to the
lst of Feb. of this year, additional men
died, / woman, and boy. On the LZo OF
Nav. 1864, rs men were released, and up to
Ian. lat. an additional number of 20 men,
women and children. The total number
now in prison is 239, consisting of 10 men,
Sc women, and % children. By comparing
: the figures, II will be seen that men remain
b unaccounted for having probably escaped-
In the prison hospital there are now III or 10
patients, suffering, principally from con-
!, sumption, of which there are several very
II ssyere cases. 1t will be noticed that the
mortality among the females Is singuiary
small in ooup arison with that of the males
This is easily accounted for, however, by the
d fact that the women are allowed more oppor
:. tunitiss of exercising and obtaining frest
. air. The sick are allowed very limited guam
q titles of sugar, tea, and coffee. The ration'
d of the men are below the minimum rate al
" lowed to our soldiers, while the children arr
- allowed but half that given to the adults -
No one appears, however, to be suffering
Al from want of food. The prison badly need
y "policipg." 1t is the design of the com
+ manding officer to clear out the grounds in
systematic manner IS soon as the weathe
will permit. As the stoves are manufacture
\ for the use of GOAL, they are rather inehectu
a. al, as wood is used, and no coal Is allowe
the prison. During the cold weather OF las
week, it was with difficulty that sufsrn
- was prevented. If the Indians are not 500
g. moved it will be necessary to furnish tn
;. prison with new ba-racks.-D Davenport Dem
