THEN AND NOW.

London, August Financial writer's say
that the withdrawal of gold from England
yesterday, for the United States, is probably
the precursor of larger shipments in payment
for American produce arriving here and i'll
France. 1t is understood that the Bank of
England holds large amount i'll American
eagles.
A few years ago, we used to watch with the
utmost anxiety day by day, for the quota
tons IN gold, in order to buy exchange on
England the moment it dropped fraction.
That was when the balance of trade was
against us; when the country, crawling out
of civil war, which we of the North forced
on the innocent South, had neither produce
nor manufactures to ship, and they were re-
lieving us of our gold, fondly longing and
hoping for the time when, under the pressure
of the heaviest debt ever contracted for sim
Gle war, and the drain on our resources, we
should fall an easy prey to our plous and at
fectionate grandfather John calculated with
out his host, and the country has not only
survived the crash of war, bat has SO advanced
in manufactures, and products of the soil, that
gravtation has turned the other way, and We
are drawing the coin from Johns strong box,
instead of his drawing from ours, and he is
whining aud blubbering over the change of
affairs, and will whine more as his land be-
comes depopulated and he has daily to put
up more gold for American products. Per.
haps in the history of the human race, there
is not u parallel to the events which have
taken place in our land within eighteen years.
fearful, destructive and exhaustive war i'll
auguratcd, bitterly fought and generously
closed slavery, which seemed to be the CART
lage of Chang and Eng, between the North
and the South, and which no one supposed
could ever be cut without death to one or
both, has been utterly wiped from the land.
England, which proved herself our worst en-
envy during the conflict, has been brought to
her knees, and while Beaconsfield is subduing
Zulu's, he forgets that greater interest is
slipping from beneath his feet this way. The |
balance of trade has gravitated westward, and |
pretty soon the meridian of Washington, in ,
stead of Farve or Greenwich, will mark the |
worlds latitude, longitude and time. Our |
manufactures are now sold in England in COM
petition with their pauper labor; our cereals
rule their market; our machinery Gu. them
out of the Continental trade, and our broad
Continent receives their starved out popula-
tiou. Don't cry, John, we'll reserve a snug
corner for you when your farm will not pay
any more, and protect You in your senility,

THERE is a fever IN the counterfeit market
Three or four new dangerous counterfeits

each others plans and were trying as to which

felonious business, talent and muscle, which
