RUMORS ABOUT SALES OF GOLD.
The low premium ou gold has elicited inquiries to
day at the Dep artment us to whether the Treasury
was Belling, but a denial was given in all cases. The
Secretary claims that he sells gold only when he wants
currency, and that he does not make a sale merely to
reduce the premium on gold. He prefers obtaining
currency in that way to calling on the national banks.

[For the News and Herald.]
The White and the Colored Races.
The growing demoraUtttion that is duly
manifesting itself on the part of a large por-
t ion,of the colored population imperatively
demands that some remedy should be sought
for. If we would have prosperity, person
and property must be made safe. If we
would infuse life and activity into agri
cultural pursuits, and mak* our whole
Southern land blossom like the rose, we
must see to it that “he who plants shall be
permitted to reap.” Instead of idleness and
stealing being tbe order of tbe day, we must
have iudustry, honesty and good neighborly
feeling to take their place. And the ques
tion that concerns hb is: “How is this most
desirable state of things to be brongbt
about ?” Religion, pure and undefiled re
ligion, will do much towards it. But po
litical action, of the right sort, will aid mat
ters mightily. It is of the highest importance,
nay, absolutely necessary, that we should
enlist as large a number as possible of the
colored class iu the support of law and order
and in tbe maintenance of good morals. Jf
a goodly and influential number of colored
people will unite cordially with the well dis
posed of the white class, in the grand work of
making honest dealing, industrious habits,
economy and thrift, health and cleanliness
everywhere to prevail, we shall soon witness
a very gratifying decrease of idleness, dis
ease, poverty and crime.
Let penalties for the violation of law be
ever so severe, these do but little in trans
forming man’s naturallysavage nature into the
qeavenly nature. What is needed is to make
virtue fashionable and vioe unfashionable.
The influence whioh one man, by his good
example, exerts over another, is a hundred
fold more powerful than all the penal laws
ever invented. But how shall we win over
the good blacks (and cause their numbers
rapidly to increase,) so that they wijl unite
cordially with the good whites in loving and
upholding well doing and in frowning down
on all evil-doing. As we have already as
sorted, their co-operative aid is absolutely
essential. And, in our opinion, we cannot
get this necessary aid only by meting opt
equal and exact justice to all persons, irre
spective of color. If we would have any one
act like a man, we must treat him like
uiuu. If we would have him act like a dog,
then trent him like a dog. If a colored man
aspires to act manly—“ to be a man,”—in
the true sense of the term, it is criirpnal to
let a feather's weight serve to repress him
in his efforts to rise. Every encouragement
should be given him, and every obstacle ta
ken out of his path. To us, whose fortunes
are linked with tho continued growth and
prosperity of this magnificent seaport, it is
particularly important that we should en
courage the colored people in every good
and noble work. It is not to our interest
that we should be so dependent on Northern
sailors to carry on the ever-increasing com
merce of Savannah. Every year, as the hot
weather comes on, we find commerce lan
guishing for the lack of seamen. Why not
encourage colored men, who are admirably
adapted to become “hardy sailors,” to en-
a a«a-farine life ? When the Grand
Trunk Railways—one leading to Cincinnati
and the other to .Johnsonville and St. Lotts
are completed, we shall need those leading a
sen-faring life who can be relied on the year
around to man the steamers and sail vessels
that will be engaged in countless numbers in
carrying on commerce with the West India
Islands, with Brazil, and other countries of
the tropical world.
Savannah is the natural gateway into the
United States through which the commerce
of all tropical countries should cuter our
land. We shall need colored men of energy
and enterprise to eng4ge actively in mercan
tile life and to open up lucrative trades with
Hayli and Africa—to infuse a spirit of law
and order and industry into those countries,
and to cause barbarism to give way to the
ever blessed light of Christian civilization.
And when the eolored people who are in our
midst, and who form so large a portion of our
population, arrive to this state of command
ing respectability, adorned with all the Chris
tian graces, may we not leel a Just pride,
and (pointing to them) say to the world,
‘these are our epistles, known and read ol
all men. We took them iu their savage
state from Africa. They accomplished their
period of servitude—tbe disciplinary course
that God had appointed for their good; an J,
now iu their state ol freedom, we have
helped them in their progress onward to a
high degree of Christian civilization-”

®cnl* for heaves. Perhaps no man of his dav was so
peculiarly fitted for that holy office. With a highly
cultivated intellect, earnest, sad even enthnsissUc pi
ety, and great powers of logic and oratory, he united
a gentleness and persuasiveness of manner that never
toiled to impress the most thoughtless. Though of
decided character and opinions, he never drove! bnt
lea men to the fountain of hop* and salvation.- Be
preached the goodness of God rather than the terrors
of the law, as the surest plan of leading men to re
pentance. Though devoted to the Church of Knc-
land. with all its sacred history and traditions, its
rites and ceremonies, he was no Bigot, bnt gave his
heart and hand to the true Christian in whatever fold
he found him. This gave him great powei for useful,
ness, and secured the respect, and even affection, of
all who knew him, of every name and faiti:. Tweuty-
lix years sgo, when he eutered U|ion the office of
Bishop, Epiaoopslianism was scarcely known iu Geor-
gia beyond the walla of the churches in Savannah and
Augusta; he closed his labors with coDgrcatioiiB in
nearly every town of the State, with cornu,-mieawte
numbered by thousands, and with thou—nds more
rapidly preesing into tho fold. His sermo .s were all
thoroughly prepared, for he did nothing that he did
not do well. They were models of literary excellence,
with every part nicely dovetailed, aod the whole com
pact and complete. Upon closing his manuscript, it
was difficult to think of anything more to be said ou
tho subject. They were marked, pel haps, by too
much rhetoric for solemn effect upon the mind of th j
reader, but whan spoken with the earnest, persuasive
and pathetic manner, the fault rather added to the ef
fect His sermons, or selections from them, will
doubtless he published •, and, if so, will take rank
among the best of this or any other country. His lit

But conspicuous and beloved as he was in his min

for his qualities ss a patriot and a citizen. He always
took a deep interest in public affairs, and lent his
active aid to any cause that he regarded as promotive
of his country's good. He was warmly devoted to
the oause of Southern Independence, and gave his
efforts and most earnest prayers for its successful
consummation. After ita disastrous failure, he had
nothing to retract and no r. spoilsjbility to shun. He
wore his principles upon his forehead, and stood, erect

As a private citizen, bishop Elliott w^s earnest and
conscientious in the discharge of every duty. His
heart overflowed with sympathy for tho distress ad, his
moans were ever at tho command of the l-eedy, even
to the extent of injustice to himself, and indeed he
never gave a thought to self whore human suffering
was to be relieved, or his ministerial offices were
needed. Fearless of death in all its forms, we have
bad occasion to witness his heroic efforts in the midst
of pestilence where no mau was safe. He was on such
occasions always at his post, and not a character was
■o degraded qr a floyei sq filthy that fie did not visit
tfiem ifi his labors of love and Christian dmy. by day
and by night, with imminent peri] to himself, he
might have been seen ministering to the sick, com
forting the dying, shrouding the dead, nnd pouring
the QU uf consolation into the hearts cl survrving
friends. It wa9 a spectacle that made some rejoice
and feel proud that he had the privilege of living iu:
the same day and generation with such a man.
But his work is ended, and ended wel . He has
“fought the good tight,” he has “kept the laith,” and
while friends and country mourn, they have a firm
assurance that there ia laid up fqr him a '-’Grown” in
the l$Bt^er Land to which fie has gone. G^ t help the
widow anfi the fatherless to hear up under their great
affliction ! May all emulate the virtuous example of
him that-has passed away, aud so live that their “last
end may fie like his.”
We learn, from a private telegram, that ihe funeral
of the lamonted bishop will take place iu Christ
Church, Savannah, on Christmas day. •

Quotation of this announcement from tho inspired
word, than the death of Rt. Rev. Stephen Elliott,
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church for ihe Di
ocese of Georgia. And the lamentations over the de
parture of the patriarch of old were not then
more eiuccre thau those which go up from the
hearts of the whole people over tho sorrowful an
nouncement in this brief dispatch from Savannah,
under date of the 21st instant:
■•Bishop Elliott died suddenly, this evening, of
t * < Unable to realize the sad truth, and wiUi a feeble,
lingering hope that there was some mistake ill the in
telligence communicated at a very late hour, we yes
terday sent a special telegram of inquiry, which was
rf "Nodoubt about tiie death of Bishop Elliott. He
d *liSs 9 swept Ck d™V > t l ho t ’b*8t remaining hope, and
though less than forty-eight hours previous we had
parted with him and left him in robust health with
ail apparent promise of still many years ot usefulness
ainomthis people, we were forced to the conviction
that Ins mission ou earth had ended, and that he had
gone to that bar before which he had so long been
ready to give an account of his stewardship. He
reaped a glorious harvest, and he has earned ’’hto
sheaves with him.” In tlyat final day, when we ahaUi
all stand iu the presence of the Eternal Judge, arnd be
called ou to render an account of the dewls done in
tlie body, may we ■ be like him, armed with the
full panoply of righteousness. Sudden as was the
summons, if nil human evidence is not deceptive, it
found him fully prepared. , ,. j
Wo regret that we have no accurate data at bamF
upon which to fouud anything like a satisfactory
sketch of this great and good man. Others, though,
will perform the task, and in a manner tor more ac
ceptable to his immediate frienda and the public, and
more just to the lamented dead, than anything that
we could indite. Indeed, after the. exalted respect and
veneration we have always felt for the minister and
the man, aud the warm personal friendship of a period
embracing the last fifteen years, we are in no frama
of mind to discuss bis character and dwell upon ita
thousand beauties. Silence would eecm to bo the ap
propriate office when contemplating immediately, and
Before the grave has closed over his mortal rematoa,
the great calamity that has .fallen upon the Church,
the Stale and Society at large. We shall, therefore,
rive in this place but a few leading points in his his
tory and character, and regret that, torIthe reawn al
ready stated, it must be done imjterfectiy.
Bishop Elliott was a native, if we mistake not, of
Beaufort, South Carolina, and was about aixty-two
vears of ago at the time of his death. Hia scholastic
edocation was conducted with great care, for he early
cave evidence of tbe fine mentaLAbiUtiea that have
riven wm such pre-eminence both as a drttoe and*
En SIs ooliege days were spent at Cambridge,
when^*he graduate! with distinction in a class that
numbered many Southerners, who afterwards gained
promtowt positions to the country. His subeequeiit
studies waredealgned to P™J*« ““ *??J*“ 1 %
where he would have won ereat ai»Uaeqan,tat m
mental qualifications eminently fitted tom for
in that profession; bnt he soon indtaed to toe Olria-
tian ministry, to which he devoted "*2*
manhood, commencing in SSSi
pbatically, -in toe harneas.’’ In 1840, he waaeli
Protestant Episcopal Bishop for Georgia, and to
office won honors for himself and e multitude ot
laborers. The above property will be so.d at a bar-
