DEATH OF ADMIRAL FARRAeUr.

The long expected intelligence of the
death of our great naval hero has come at
last Admiral Farragut died on Sunday,
| at his residence in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, after long and severe i'll
ness, which has afflicted him for nearly a
year.
His death at Chicago, from the effects
| of chill, was reported on the ninth OF
last October. and although the report was
premature, the brave old Admiral has
probably not seen day of health since.
Of the famous men of the late war,
Farragut stands, with our illustrious
President, at the head His fame is
world wide, and can not die with him.
The nation has lost much, it is to be
feared, in his removal from us at this
time. Our next war, if we are to have
one in this generation, will be a naval
one, and the fame and skill of Farragut in
such an event would be host of them
selves.
With the history of New Orleans, the
name of Farragut will ever be illustriously
enshrned. To his skill and valor is due
the taking of the city and its restoration
to Federal power and control. To his
moderation is due the fact that this was
without loss of life or injury to the city
itself Loyal and devoted to his govern
m ent, he had no malice or bitterness in
his heart. The tribute of respect to his
memory will be bestowed alike by friend
and foe.
Admiral Farragut was plain and I'M
affected man, and bore without haughti-
ness the applause of the world. He was
a native of the South, born in Tennessee,
and reared ip Louisiana. He entered the
United States navy at an early age. His
history from that time is its history and
its crowning glory. We shall not attempt
to detail it, for the reflections of our
readers will incline them more to their
own recollections of him and thought of
the future and his loss to the nation, than
to the details and dates of minute bio
graphy.

THE WAR AND THE GOLD MARKET,

Prussian victories cause a decline in
gold ; but the reason for this is nowhere
better and more briefly explained than in
the following paragraph, from the New
York Herald:
At casual glance this might appear a
curious reason for the lower ruling of the
precious metal, but reflection will show that
1T is very logical. Germany has been largely
interested in American national securities.
Inc bankers of Frankfort and Berlin have
constantly dealt in our five-twenties and
ten-forties ever since the close of the war;
Inc people Of Germany have also largely
invested in them,
Inc Germans and Americans have been
htlmateiy connected through private cor
respondence with each other. On the other
hand, the French have had comparatively
nttie TO DO with us financially or socially
Germany and England hold large amounts
Of our bonds. France has very few. II is
very natural, therefore, that the general
buOyancy of German finances FOLLOWING
the success of the Prussian arms should ex,
tend to American securities. While a
French victory would not help US, a Prus-

PRUSSIA AND THE UNIoN.-In 1866, Bis
marck said to an American: In our rela-
tons with the United States, never had a
doubt. The Tory party in Prussia, to which
1 am supposed to belong, at the outbreak of
your war, besOught the King to recognize
the South. IOpposed it infexibly. To me
it was clear that the North only could be
the true ally of Prussia; with the South we
had nothing in common. The government
of Prussia never wavered in its friendrhip
for yours. 1t is a traditional policy with us.
Frederick the Great, think, was the first
European sovereign to recognize your indie
pendence. am heartily glad to know that
America understands and reciprocates the
friendly feeling we have steadily main
tanned"

GOVERNOR WARMoTH. Monroe
(La.) htelligencer, speaking Of Governor
Warmoth, very correctly observes:
Few men could have done as well amid
the peculiar difficulties which have encOm-
passed him since the commencement of the
present State government. Surrounded by
Jealous and envious aspirants for place and
power within the ranks of his own party,
and approached with subtle fiattery by. un-
scrupulous demagogues and willy politicians
of the Democratic party, who sought to Sc
duce him from his line of duty, his position
has been no "bed of roses"
