The feature OF the foreign trade of the week
which ended yesterday is the increased export of
gold. We shipped over two and quarter millions
Of gold and silver to Europe last week-consdcr-
ably moro than has been sent abroad in single
week for couple Of months past The increase
in the outward movement of gold has of course
arisen from demand for bills which the export
movement was unable to supply. 1t would seem
unlikely that this demand can prove lasting
Our aggregate exports last week foot up over five
millions, while our aggregate imports only amount
70 81 ,s67 900; so that, even allowing for thirty
per cent erroneous valuation Of imports-they are
invoiced at foreign ports on a specie currency
basis-we must still have swelled the general trade
balance In our favor, which, at last reckoning wus
about twelve and half millions, to fifteen millions
of dollars for the commerce Of the calendar year
TO date. The entries Of foreign merchandise were
however, very light last week, in comparison with
previous weeks, and there is reason to expect a
marked increase before long All classes Of dry
goods-silks, wooens, cottons, linens, laces, &c.
are selling at prices which tempt the importer
to order goods freely from abroad. Nor

0ESL. BucKSER.-The Richmond Enquirer
Of the 9Th has long article upon the surren-
der Of Fort Donelson. in justification of Gen.
Buckner. We have always admired the cou-
rage, energy, and patriotism Of Gen. Pillow.
But he has grievous fault. The one by which
"angels fell" 1t is pride. The effects Of his
vanity have always kept him in trouble. He
was quarreling with Gen. Scott, and other off,
GERS during the Mexican war, all on a matter
of the pettiest vanity. He appropriated some
| cannon taken in battle to his own use, as tro-
phies of his prowess. He lis laughing stock for
showing the bullet with which he was shot.
With all that he is good general, brave man,
and patriot.


As for Gen. Floyd if we may believe public
| opinion, (Which is not confuted by any Of his
known exploits) he has had remarkable sue
cess in falling out with his brother officers,
and rendering himself generally odious, in
every quarter where he has commanded.
The calm verdict Of history, viii doubtless
be that Buckner was the hero Of Fort Donel-
son. When he had borne the burden and heat
Of the battle until his men were dropping from
their fatigue, and he saw the further defence
of the fort to be hopeless, he brought to his
aid that calm moral courage, which is rarer
than physical bravery. He declined attempt
ing to force his way through the enemy with
loss of threc-fourths OF his command. He did
| not conceive the interests Of the country re-
quired him to trifie with their lives, and waste
them fruitlessly


| Pillow and Floyd, shrinking from the igno-
miny and privations Of prison; unwilling to
order battle, as they might as commanding
officers have done, proving either that Buck
ner was right in his judgment, or else that
they themselves were unwilling to incur the
their commands, stole awiy in the night time,
abandoned their men to suferings they were
unwilling to incur, and left the heroic Buckner
to his fate. He was too noble tn do likewise.
The army had sha red his danger, and stood by
him in the roar Of battle and the carnage Of
deadly charges. He would not abandon them
in their humiliation. and seek his own COM
fort and safety. Where he had gone, they
went. Where they we're forced to 60, he would
60 also.


When the history Of this matter is under
stood, men may excuse Pillow and Floyd. But
all hearts will turn with warm and loving ad-
miration to the chivalric prisoner, who now be-
| hind the bolts and bars Of Fort Warren, has
the proudest position of all the generals of that
Inflated garrison.

SCHEME TO OBTAIN ARMs.-It is pro.
posed by persons high in authority at
Richmond, to buy from the planters about
a million bales of cotton, and negotiate a
sale of the same to France, provided she
would come and get it, and bring in car
goes of goods. 1t is easy enough for the
Confederate Government to buy the cot
ton, but whether the concurrence of the
French Government cat be obtained is
questionable. It would afford rs arms to
any amount.

Sometimes necessary to destroy them, where it
Is desirable to throw some immediate impedi

wise. Where ne obstruction to the movements
Vi the enemy can result, to destroy them is
ohiy impoverishing ourselves. For we must
not lose sight of the determination to regain it
all for our own use. We will have expenses
enough on hand then, without any unnecessary
rebuilding. Genl. Johnston's destruction of
the magnificent suspension bridge at Nashville
ior instance, is as yet inexplicable. He did it
after advising the citizens to surrender. and
allow the enemy to enter unmolested from any
quarter or by any method. 1t did not hurt
the enemy particle, and ru ned the corpora
ton.

that sort of foolishness comes Of our having
READ about the burning of Moscow, which 50
few of US take trouble to understand. Napo-
Icons army was obliged to quarter in Moscow
or perish In that rigorous Cline 1t was an
isolated city, separated by hundreds of miles
OF forest and desert from any other. Camp
ing was impossible. Napoleon was compelled
to retreat or succumb to the irresistible laws
Of nature which would have frozen his army to
death. For US here to ruin our own country
fighting on the Russian plan, is absurd. The
enemy get along as well without our towns as
with them.


But on the other hand whateveris proper to
be burnt should be. An inexorabIe public
opinion, should, in the absence of law, enforce
it. Not by violence. That never does any
good. If planter for instance, for love of
money, should prefer keeping his cotton until
1t falls into the hands of the enemy, do not mob
it, or burn it for him. That would have vorse
moral effect than any injury We could sustain
by the enemy's getting it. But it is perfectly
legitimate to make such . man the object of
scorn and contemplate visit him with that
withering odium with would repel from him
all social intercourse, and to make him feel
that the stigma of popular disgrace rested on
him and his, for generations


1t is shame that 500, 900 worth of cotton
fell into the hands of the enemy at Nashville.
Spectators at Memphis are now concealinp
cotton and sugar to sell at advanced rates to
the enemy in case of their occupation of that
city. The laws should prevent this-not mobs.
Legislation is quite effective for the purpose.

trous prolongation to all. We were on the
point of recognition, by several natl ons OF Eu-
rope. That would have crushed the enemy,
who are hopeless when their blockade is broken.
and we may import arms and munitions. That
is delayed. The people of the North were
themselves becoming hopeless, and disposed to
abandon the contest. large party were be-
ginning to oppose the war. ALI that will now
vanish. They will become inflated with new
hopes of the restoration Of that portion OF
country from which they derived their wealth,
which they were proud to own, whilst they were
willing to oppress- They will grasp at the re-
vived hopes of avoiding inevitable bankruptcy,
and nerve themselves up to new efforts to sus-
tain the administration in its struggle.


Our fears extend to this, then, that we must
spend more of our substance sacrifice more of
our lives than we hoped to be necessary Not
a oualm of fear of ultimate success, ever enter
ed our mind Let US all arouse to the work.
See what they have done by the cry that the
contest must be short and decisive. They are
mista ken in that, but we may learn from their
example. We may make it so. We need
money, provisions, arms, clothing Let every
citizen make it his morning and evening prayer
to preserve him from the spirit of mammon
and sel6shness, and devote himself to his coun-

them give. Awake from the dangero us lethar-

long and in chains, before his hair grew again,
and he crushed his enemies. It may turn out
so with us, if We are Needless. Let us crash
them at first, before we are driven to the sad
necessity of waiting in humiliation for our

And the cottage by the brook;

So familiar to his ear
And the soldier leaned upon his sword
And brushed away tear.
Beside the cottage porch


A girl was on her knees,
She held aloft snowy scarf,


Which futtered in the breeze:
She breathed prayer for him
A prayer he could net hear
But he paused to bless her as she kneIt,
And wipe away tear.
He turned and left the spot

For dauntless was the soldiers heart.
Though tears were on his cheek.

Victory is ours From all along the
line of the grand army Of the Union, ex-
tending thousand miles across the cont
nent, and from the extended shores of the
Southern States on the Atlantic aud the
Gulf, come the glad tidipgs of victories
won. Upon the Potomac cur victory was
a bloodless one, the enemy falling back
from their stronghold at Manassas, burning
what tents, and spiking what guns they
could not carry of, leaving the whole line
of their Notifications and entertainments
for our forces to take quiet possession of.


Fernandina, Fla, and Fort Clinch, Ga,
have been taken by the gallant Dupont,
and We may soon expect to hear Of more
brilliant victories in that quarter,


But from Arkansas comes the news that
fills the cup of Joy for Kansas to overflow
ing. There has another great victory been
won. Curtis and Sigel have met, whipped
and scattered in the greatest confusion, the
combined rebel forces under McCulloch,
Price, Van Dorm and others, and rendering
our fears of an invasion from that point
dream of the past. Our loss is great, as
well as that of the enemy, and while We
are sending forth shouts of exultation over
our triumphs, let us not forget to drop
tear for those who have offered up their
hearts blood on the. altar of their country,
nor fail to show in a substantial. manner,
when opportunity offers, our appreciation Of
the gallant acts of our brave volunteers.

Mason. Certain members met in lonely
locality in Canada, where box was placed
containing red and white balls--four red
ones. AS each one came to the box, with

they took one of the balls-then at dis
tance from this place each one looked to
see what bad been bis choice. If white
one, he went one way, and held no converse
with any one on the subject, but if he found
red one in bis hand, the doom was on
him. at an appointed place ne met the

CATHOLIC VIEW or THE SUNDAY LAW
The Jesuit Father, Bushard, on Sunday
evening last delivered lecture st. Igna-
thus church, in continuation Of his course
on Decalogue. His remarks were confined
TO the observance of the Lords day. To-
wards their conclusion he took occasion to
refer to the efforts made to enact compul-
sorry laws to have people desist from work
on the Sabbath. The speaker contended
that it was through the agency Of the
Church, and the Church alone. that respect
was to be created for the Sabbath, and that
when associations, conventions and petit
tions were brought into operation to induce
the Legislature to pass laws on this subject,
the parties prominent in these measures, it
was to be observed, where those very peo-
pie who were always clamoriDg against
connecting Church and State. They were
guilty Of the grOssest Inconsistency, for in
no manner could Church and state be more
closely combined than by the secular power
making penal the nOnobservance Of Gods
commandments. The speaker insisted that
the church was only capable Of inducing
people to sanctify the Sabbath, and while
he bewailed the want Of respect paid to the
day, yet be declared that Sunday laws
caused more sin than if no such enactments
existed. He was confident that men who
were compelled against their will to close
their places of business on the Sabbath,
gave vent to their feelings in cursing,
swearing and all kinds of profanity. The
Church, then in her Divine mission, should
be left to reach the hearts of men; and she
was alone capable of doing so. 1t was
wrong for the State to interfere, and its
action not only failed in accomplishing the
end 10 view, but gave rise to sin and scan
dal. The speaker dwelt fOrcibly upon ID"
duty Of properly observing the Sabbath By
abstaining from our usual avocations, and
| by practising works Of piety.-[S. F. Call.
