une Alabama CInina.

Although there il no prospect that
there will be immediate action on the
part Of this Government looking to a
settlement of the Alabama claims, the
question nevertheless engages the at
tentIon OF the President and Cabinet
more than any other foreign topic. In
fact 1t is almost the only subject con-
nected with our foreign affairs which
calls for consideration. One of the diff
ticult points about the whole matter in
dealing with 1t automatically, is that
our own Supreme Court rCcO2 nized the
balligerency OF the South seventeen
days before the Queens proclamation
WINS issued, and, so far at loast US Spain
is concerned, we are on record in our
diplomatic correspondence as thanking
that country for not having given more
substantial aid and COuntenanCe TO
the rebellion. 1t may tend to quiet
the fears OF nervous people to be told
OIL the very best authority that tie nd
ADMINISTRATION has not the slightest 1nten-
ton of resofting to immediate hOst1ll-
ties, and will net adept DeIIigerent at
titu9c without the ErHYest pTOVOcatlon.
The President and his Cabinet are en-
Iirely in accord on the point that II for.
eign war would be extremely disas-
trous at the preaeut time. Although
we are not by any means so enfeebled
as to shrink from IL contest II forced
upon US, still every effort will be used
TO steer clear of foreign complications
until our great Indebtedness has be-
come more manageable and until the
way toward specie payments has been
cleared. 1t is stated on the authority
OF ono of the Secretaries that the Ex-
EcuIiVe is now extremely anxious IN
reference to the point made by Mr..
Sumner in his speech as to what con-
Alilutes blockade. But Mr.. Summers
argument as whole is not by any
means the reflex OF the views OF the
President and Cabinet.

Gold md Prices.

The financial Editor of the N. Y. Pos
SAYS OF the recent rise in gold: On the
6Lh of March gold WAS sold in Wal
street at a premium OF less than thirty
per cent. For several days past the
premium has been above forty per
last, gold could not be bought for less
than one hundred and forty five. This
rapid advance in gold, with the pre-
vAiiing feeling that it is likely to rise
still higher, has alarmed some persons,
who suppose that 1t is an indication OF
a further depreciation of our currency
and OF general rise in prices.
In point of fact, however, prices in
general have not risen with gold.
Wheat, rye. Indian corn, lard, cotton,
flour, and many other articles of ne
cessity, are materially lower now than
they were on the 9Th of March, when
gold was lowest. The rise of nearly
One-hHlf in the gold premium since
that time has not affected them at all;
or, if at all, it has made them cheaper.
The fact can be accounted for only in
one way. Gold is an exception to the
general markets for commodities; it
has long been artiticially depressed, by
u variety Ofinflucnces, the most impor-
IHnt of which is the export of bonds.
The advance in the premium is simply
"a return towards the natural price of
SOlhs Alo Al60 Va COuLSc pu'6 up lu6
cost of foreign productions, which are
paid for in gold; but it thus employs a
part Of the surplus currency which has
been sustaining other markets at specu-
Ialive and inflated values, and so lends
actually TO lower the general range OF
prices.
there is no reason to doubt, there.
tore, that a very large advance in gold
might take place without any injury to
fixed incomes or to wages at the pre-.
sent rates. If the rise should become sc
great as TO indicate real distrust Of
the currency, an apprehension that the
government cannot be trusted. there
will then be ground for alarm on this
point. But that is not likely to take
place, except in consequence of a
foreign war or of a great revulsion in
trade. If neither of these events should
take place, gold might rise to a point
at which the price would represent the
real initiation of the currency, without
making living more costly; and MIR.
Wells has cOnclusively shown that in-
tiation TO be fully eighty-eight per cent.
Il point far beyond any which has
been approached by the premium on
gold since the war.

BRANDRErH,s PILLS.

VOIhE
Brandreth's Pills have been known and
used by your grandfathers and grandmoth
ers They are always safe, and sure To do
you good. They are purely vegetable, and
diminish the death principles; some think
they increase the principle OF life. But in
taking out bad humoTs from the blood, they
do make the body lighter, and thus seem to
add energy. Many families have used them
for upwards OF forty years.
They are the best medicine for Colds, for
all Bilious Affections, for Fullness about the
Head or Heart, and in all Cutaneous and
Contagious Diseases they are unrivalled. In
all cases where purgative is indicated, no
medicine yet known can be compored to
them. Two hundred physicians have testi-
fed that Brandreth's Pills are superior to
all other ruTgatlves whatever. Sold by all
Druggists. mylV-lmd&W

The Elections I'm East virginia.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times gives favorable
account OF the Republican prospect for
the coming campaign. The COnstitu.
ton will be ratified by large majority
and the separate clauses defeated,
though the Democrats are making
strenuous efforts to secure majority.
A prominent gentleman from New
York, who returned from Virginia to-
night, reports the political campaign in
that State as assuming very warm
and active shape. Governor Wells and
x-District-Attorney Chandler leave
Richmond this A. NJ. to canvass the
western portion of the State. Mr.. Walk
er, the Conservative candidate for Gov
ernor, is already on the stump, speak
ing in the southwest. The Republicans
complain that their opponents are car
rying on the campaign under false pre-
fences. by claiming that Walker is a
Republican, when the fact is that he
was always Democrat at the North
and never pretended TO be any
thing else until he came to Vir-
ginia. They also point to his recent
speeches to show how he exhibits his
contempt for Northern people or carpet
baggers, he himself having been in the
State not so long by several years as
Governor wells. BOth parties are con-
tident. Il is cancelled that the COnsti-
tuition will be ratified by large major
Ity and that the separate clauses will
be defeated. The Conservative Party
say that the reopening of the registra-
tain will add thousands of white votes
To the lists; that they will get many ne
grOe votes Hs we'll As white votes; and
that the negro vote has been largely
decreased by the emigration of tina t
class, both South and North. They
also claim that the Conservative Party
reDresents the true business and COM
msrcial policy OF Virginia, and base
their hopes of success on these reasons.
The Wells party, or regular Republic
cans, as they call themselves, claim that
Walker will get few or no negro votes
that the label conservative Republi
can" will ot.deceive them; that Wells
Will get large white vote, and that Il
very large portion of the extreme rabid
secession element, who refuse to coun-
tenance suffrage under any circum-
stances, will not vote at all, but permit
the election to go by default. They an
ticipate the success of Wells by ten or
fifteen Thousand minority.

THE jackson Citizen tells the follow
ing story OF an exploit of Anna Dick
inson, at Marshall:
When drawing near to the end of her
lecture an incident occurred which re-
vealed more of her true character and
disposition than a dozen lectures. A
gentleman in the back part of the house
rose to go out. Miss Dickinson ordered
him to stop. or course all eyes were
directed towards her victim, who, in
the most gentlemanly manner, replied
that lady was sick and must go out,
(not a strange circumstance in u close
and crowded room.) She then, after
this most reasonable explanation, In
bitter, whitening manner said: II am
about closing, and do not wish to have
my concluding remarks interrupted by
y0"," with a peculiar emphasis on the
'yow.' Not only were her concluding
remarks lost upon the audience, but
the impression made by all that she
had previously said was greatly i'm
pAired,
