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 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-” Pao Bono Publico.

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 erary addresses, of which there are tnauv, will form a valuable collection. Tbe last official act of Bishop Elliott was laying the corner stone of the new chapel at Montpelier, Weil nesday afternoon last, and his last public aadyess was the Valedictory to the young ladies of that lustitritiou. who were about separating tor their respe; -ive homes, on the evening of that day. Iu writing a Lru 1 sketch of these ceremonies for our issue or yestea'.ay, how little we dreamed thai before itcould be p.:t in typo, the telegraph would flash us the sad news that the good and great man who conducted them was no morel But conspicuous and beloved as he was in his min isterial character. Bishop Elliott was equally noted 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 In his great manhood, proclaiming them iu defeat as well as in victory. If the concerns of earth are recog nized and levived beyond the coufincs of time, what a meeting there has been between the martyred Polk and bia heroic eulogist, who, over the ni icgled re mains of the former, summoned the enemies of his MA NITROfiEMIZED Sii|«:r-Pli((Sjiliitl(!«f Lime « THE MOST j CONCENTRATED FERTILIZER KNOWN b'Uli COTTON, CORN, WHEAT, VEGETABLE CROPS, MADE ONLY FROM Bones, Sulphuric Avid and Pare Amnto- liUcal Animal Matters. 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. • •For full Chemical Analyses and description of pro- c s8 of msnnfaciuie, see Dr. Buck's report, published in our pamphlet.

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 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.

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.
