With slight variation the latter ratio con-
tinHed to lS49. Before the California discoveries
IN that year, gold uniformly commanded pre-
MUM which the influx then destroyed, and the
demand for silver ocCasioned q slight premium
on the latter. The relative value OF gold to silver
in London that year was Id. to 15Sd. The price
OF gold was then us. Cd. per ounce and of silver
59ad. per ounce On the lst of January, 1866,
silver was 62d per ounce. This rise was due in
degree 10 the fact that short supplies of cotton
from this country during the war required large
sums of silver to be sent to India for cotton, as
well as for other articles. After the gold dis
coveries in California, France began TO exchange
her silver for gold currency, sending the silver
TO India for silks and other products. The tea
and silk trade OF China with all countries also
absorbs an immense amount of silver.
COMPARISON.
The silver statistics give 81, ,62O, 400 900 of pro-
duction in eig teen years, against gold yield OF
S3,3 500, 600 in the same period, or an average
OF 500 022 222 in silver to Sl95, 63S, ,SS8 in gold
Trustworthy statistics, covering all the pro-
ducing countries, of the yield OF gold and silver
for 1866 are not now accessible; but the reader
can easily estimate the probable production
from the relative amounts in l863-64-65 in the
tables given, 1t will be seen from the silver
tables that the annual increase since 1S47,
except in the United States, is very moderate
while the annual gold product is constantly
increasing from new discoveries, and especially
from the application of scientific processes to
the extraction of the ore.
GOLD COINAGE.
We give the following statement to show the
enormous increase in the gold coinage of differ
ent countries in the decade l850-60, folio wing
the double discoveries in California and Aus
tralia:-From 1892 to the close of 1860, the total
gold coinage of the United States amounted to
$6l0, 900; of this total the large proportion
of $525, ,000,0 600 was coined in 1S50-60. France
coined in the period extending from 1926 to 1860,
1900, ,00o, 600 francs, of which 1900, 600, 900
francs were coined after 1850. Russia coined,
from 1850 to 1860, $4,000 600 roubles, out of
total coinage since 1864 of 4S6, 100000 roubles.
Great Britain shows coinage in ten years from
1850 Of f54, 100000, out OF 9259,000,0O0 coined
since 1903.
ESTIMATES AND EXPECTATIONS.
In 1860 it was estimated that, In the course of
the coming decade, with the explorations then
million dollars daily. These expectations have
not yet been realized.

RELATIVE VALUES OF GOLD AND SILVER.
The relative values of gold and silver have
been ascertaned, with probable accuracy,
precious metals and their use as mediums of
exchange. In the time of Abraham the relative
value OF gold TO silver was one to eight;
one to twelve; b. @. 800 it was one to thirteen;
at the commencement of the Christian era
1t was one to nine. Since that period the
standard, more positively stated, has been as

nobiy to the music of the Union
than Indiana did at the outbreak and
during the continuance OF the late
civil war Our State certainly has
just cause to press her claims for
the distinguished honor of fur
nishing the next President Of the
United States. If this distinction is
granted us by our sister States, we
think there can be no dou BIT as to
where the choice Of the people Of In
diana will fall. Governor Morton is
the representative man of our State,
and is so everywhere acknowledged.
His reputation for Executive ability,
while Governor of our State, became
national. We think Indiana can pre-
sent no candidate for the Presidential
nomination of the Union party, who
will unite so great home popularity
with such extensive national renown,
and to whose support the Northwest
will more cheerfully rally.

General BOyle's Letter.

At the request Of GENERAL BOYLE,
we publish this morning, a letter ad-
dressed by him to one of the editors
of the JOURNAL. In order to a COM
plete understanding of the matters
presented yesterday at some length,
the publication of this letter was nee
essary, as well as in justice to the
writer. General BOYLE. in his ad-
ministration of affairs in Kentucky,
was actuated by the purest motives of
patriotism and stern sense of duty
to his country. 1t is difficult at this
day to calmly and fairly Judge of the
acts and orders of military officers,
during a time of civil war, under the
circumstances which surrounded Gen
eral BOYLE, as Commander of the
District of Kentucky. All good citi-
zens, of whatever political parties,
will agree that the publications which
have been made, should not In any re-
.spect affect the great enterprise with
which he.is connected, and which the
people of this community, as well as of
Southwest Kentucky, are so deeply in
terested. What he did, or caused to
be done, was in discharge of his duty
as sworn officer of the Government.
