Decline of the Gold fajteMiriit.— Front the
Washington National Intelligencer , of the Otli
instant, we copy the following in reference to
the decline in the gold market and Its effects
upon trade!: ’ »'i
“The gold premium has declined 10 about
thirty-three per cent., and is likely to fall, as it
did last spring, to thirty or lower. The Secre
tary of the Treasury is reported to have said
that he could easily cause a further decline ; but
the fall, during the last week, was without any
exercise of his power over the market. No gold
has been sold by the Treasury for a week past,
though, during the previous week, the sum of
twelve million weS put into the marketT The
Treasury still comniands a large amount of gold.
“Money 1 is so abundant in the commercial
centresth.it speculation flourishes thofegh re
gular business is at a stand.' Speculating f in the
city of New York has for a week past been
directed strongly to real estate at advancing
prices, the auction sales amounting to a quarter
of a million of dollars a dayt' This shows not
only the abundance of money, but the want of
employment for it in any regular business.’ *
“Many persons marvel at the fact that the
prices of living arc still maintained at the same
rate which prevailed when gold-.was *OO. Au
actual scarcity of commodities caused by dimin
ished production and suddenly increasing con
sumption, has been and still is among the causes
1 of high prices, ns well as the redundancy of
paper currency. But prices tend downwards,
and must decline very sensibly, even without
any reference to the success of any scheme of
contraction. Hundreds of thousands of men,
lately in anus, and consumers, must now
become producers, and, besides these the. vast r
current of immigration brings daily accessions
to our means of production.
“Dry goods, both foreign and cToffierfie, have
fallen heavily—wholesale prices having declined ,
20 per cent. —during the past week. TheSouth- i
ern demand for godds, whielfwas so brisk
during a few months following the close of the
> war, has subsided, and the supply has exceeded
the inches of pa yment. The South has nearly 1
exhausted ihe resources wliifh remained to it, J
after the war in cotton, tobacco, naval stores, ,
etc., and (lie. prospect of production for 180(1-7 ■
is far from being good.
“Some, business men anticipate a general de- j
dine ot prices, and as a eonseq hence of it, aeon- f
traction of bank loans which will fall with se- 1
verity upon bank debtors. Banks are generally !
i
increasing instead of diminishing tlioir loans. ,
The loan line of the New York city banks before <
the war was a hundred and twenty millions, 1
and if, is now two hundred and forty millions,
though legitimate business is falling off. When j
the banks shall, from prudential reasons, eon- 1
tract their loan line, everything upofi wliielf j
these loans are based will suffer a great decline
in price.” ]
■/ ■ Ashamed op Tlis Position. -Major IT. C.
Lawrence, agent of the Freediuen’s Bureau at
Fayetteville, North Carolina, writes to a friend
■ . • in Washington City a strong letter opposing
the continuance ofliis bureau, against which lie
arrays a list of powerful objections. His letter
m closes thus:
“ I felt ashamed oi myself as an American,
and for my Government, when, a few days ago,
Judge Buxton,'of the Supreme Court of this
State, called at my office to inquire'as to the
extent of the jurisdiction- he would he per
mitted to exercise in a term he was about to
hold.”
Major Lawrence is plainly a friend to free
government. Here is another hard lilt. He
ft r •'
Bfe. m. ‘‘ If a State should establish such a judicial.
BBT*' system, I think the Federal Government might
ell he called upon to enforce its guaranty'of
, pllblieji., Cweeniineni to t1,,. ~| tl,:,t
MM' r itftte.”' ' ._ M
‘■'"‘■No language could better describe the in
( compatibility of such a bureau with our form
Jgt- °f government. _ ,
y > Ai it-.. Scene.- On Tuesday ijight up af
feeling scene occurred at Dowling Hall, Terre
IS Haute. McKean Buchanan, with His daughter,
B Miss Virginia Bnelianan, have been playing
there for a short time, and on that evening the
W play of Hamlet was to be presented, Miss Vir
ginia appearing a6 Ophelia. On the fall of the
SF, curtain in the second act, .after the audience ltad
a • been kept waiting some fifteen minutes, it was
IT announced that in consequence of the danger
ous illness of her mother, Miss Virginia would
not appear, and if the play was continued the
part of Ophelia would, of necessity, have to be
omitted. The audience, if not satisfied, were
granted permission to take their money and
retire, but the unanimous voice was “go on.”
The curtain ■ rose and Hamlet coiuqjouced, his
soliloquy, “To tie or not to be.” Blit Mr.
Buchanan had not proceeded through half a
dozcu lines when his faltering voice broke, and
falling into a chair he exclaimed —“ My wife is
dying—take your money—l cannot play !” and
f r the audience slowly and sadly dispersed. ' ' - v '
An Embarrassing Incident. —A fat young
damsel at an entertainment, was suited near the
L stage, and many eyes attentively rested on her
*; 4 many charms, not the least of which was her
liair, which was arranged in a very large and
gorgeous “ waterfall,” ,with a perfect cascade
of curls pendant from each side.
Suddenly those who had fixed their admiring
L eyes on her noticed a decline in the “rich sable
wreath of hair," and soon .the bonds of. hair
pins and comb being sundered, It slid gracefully
down her back, when she seized it and tucked
it under her hood. But her efforts, alas ! were
in vain. A second time the lovely adornment
broke loose from the moorings, and the wjiole
Kl ‘stately fabric of “whirlpool, curls, rats and
hair pins, rolled from her shoulders and into
r the lap of a modest and timid youth behind her.
Astonished beyond measure, yet preserving his
self-possession, lie passed the article over her
shoulder, his face suffused with blushes. She
received and pocketed it, among remarks from
unmannerly boys of “put bvfßome glues *"how
rs 1 • are you, Jerusha?” “tie it on,” and other cx
l V pressions “of a like similarnesA”
f Springfield Republican.
J Amusing Incident. —An amusing incident
is told of a woman in England, whose husband,
a wealthy man, died suddenly without leaving
any will. The widow, desirous of securing the
i \ whole property, concealed Jier husband’s death
and persuaded a poor shoemaker to take his
place while a will could be made. According
ly, he was closely muffled in bed, as if very
sick, iftld a lawyer was called to write the will.
The shoemaker, in a feeble voice, bequeathed
half of all the property to the wiaow. “ What
shall be done with the remainder ?” asked the
lawyer. “ The remainder,” replied he, “-I give
and bequeath to the poor little shoemaker
across the street, who has always been a good
neighbor and a deserving man,” thus securing
a rich bequest for himself The widow was
thunderstruck with the man’s audacious cun
ning, but did not dare expose the fraud, and so
. two rogues shared tlie estate. ’ '
A Newspaper. —lt was Bishop Horn’s own'
opinion that there was no better moralist thnu
the newspaper. He says: .jj,
* The follies, vices, and consequent miseries of
multitudes, displayed in newspapers, are so
many beacons continually burning to turn oth
ers from the rock on which they have-been ship
wrecked. What more powerful dissuasive from
suspicion, jeftloufcy and anger, than the story of
one friend murdered by another in a duel V
What caution more likely to be effective against
gambling and profligacy, than the mournful re
lation of au execution, or the fate of a despair
ing suicide ? What finer lecture on the-neces
sity of economy, than the auction of estates,
houses and furniture ? Only take a newspaper,
and consider it well, pay for it, and it will in
struct thee. tI
An Amusing Mistake.—Many of opr Nor
thern brethren enjoyed a rather unenviable no
toriety in days That are past, for helping them
selves to things that did not belong to them..
The announcement in a household that “Yan
kees” were coming, was the signal fat hiding.
Os course the.little children soon learned to look
upon their approach With terror. The other
day, two gentlemen North, ajfrived in
our county, and stoppeda comfortable hoine
stead near,the court house. ..They were on the
lookout for land, and it being late, they were
invited to stay-all night. In'gbe morning,: after
breakfast, they walked .-into the garden, and
were examing around. The quick eye of one
of the children was on the “Yankees” all the
time. She remembered old times. At length
she suddenly lftn into the house, and dtcosting
her sister Jennie', broke out: “They, are steal
ing all the onions fn the garden !”

INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF THE EX
CITEMENT.
%~ , m
PREPARATIONS TO REPEL THE INVA
DERS.
[From the New York Time* of the 10th.
Ottawa, Canada, Friday, March 0.
Up here in the woods we begin to feel the
tea-pot tempest that seems to be disturbing
your mercurial people. You already know that
the Government has ordered out a large force
to defend, If need be, the New York and Michi
gan borders—that arms are glistening in the
pale March sun, and bright uniforms are
astounding 3the urchins of all our great towns.
The ice is our tender point. That once bro
ken up, we do tear invasions, but who knows
when the hot-blooded Fenians of New York
may pounce upon us by ft night’s march over
-theaolid! surface of these narrow rivers ?
* It‘ is certain thatffis soon as the ice breaks up,
the Home GotfcyUWnt willl 'send large rein
forcements to the , stations from Quebec to
Mackinaw, and every reasonable precaution will
by taken’to repel assault. ,
The Government buildings and all the banks
in Ottawa have been placed under military
guard at night. Tfyere'has been a most enthu
siastic response throughout Canada to the call
Tor volunteers, find ten thousand nieii are al
ready ruarchiug toward the frontier.
Parliament has been called to mopt on the
lbthtff April. * . .
Npva Scotia and New Brunswick Will trnme
ktMittelV acciale to a confederation with the Cana
dian Provinces, and a common tariff will be
enacted, to include Newfoundland, and "perhaps
Prince Edward’s Island.
English guftfioats have been ordered to the
fishing grounds jn view of the abrogation of the
Reciprocity Treaty.
These facts show that we are not quite so
dormant as you Yankees believe. It may je
that Canada will be swept away by a grand coup
ile main, but not by the demagogues who engi
neer your so-called Fenian movement.
Montreal, Friday, March 9,
The excitement so suddenly sprung upon ns
yesterday bv the Government’s call lor Jen
fSmwand volunteers, is not peraoptibly abated.
You mercurial Americans, who explode at the
mere supposition of a great event, do not ap
preciate our coolness. We must have
tip-top of excitement before our sluggish Wood
cgn be-starred, but whim it ii stirred it is not
■ easily cooled.
•Since my advices to you yesterday which,
by the way, I undertake to guess were the only
real facts concerning the great fight that reach
ed the New York papers—no very significant
event has occurred. The agents ol your Ameri
can Associated Press will read you a synopsis
pf tlie real and supposed intelligence, at their
disposal, I .and I merely subjoin their dispatches,
without vouching for anything.
In ibis city there is a peculiar state of feeling.
As I said yesterday, but a small portion oi our
population would, under any circumstances,
side with the Fenian movement. Consonant
with the .Ticiion ol your Roman Catholic hierar
chy, the magnates of tlie Church in these Prov
inces have set their faces against the movement,
and some oi l hern have, spoken very freely in
opposition. I hear that the Archbishop oi
Quebec, the, actual head’ of the Church in all
British America, will probably very soon ex
press his, condemnation of tlie Fenian move
ment. His Grace may readily be excused from
earlier attention to the matter, for it is scarcely
possible that a dozen Fenians can be found in
all Canada below this city.
In this’town the fever has some curious and
ludicrous phases. The much-courted and
polled accession refugees (while I liey laid
money) who are yet lingering here, and dis
mill I v longing for some general amnesty that
ugiy give them leave to revisit the scenes from
which Ihcy so cowardly fled, are now looked
upon with suspicion. The people who follow
ed Gregory and Laird in coddling these luen,
are suddenly oonseious-sinittcu, and find that
I lie lovely innocents di llic was-to-be Southern
Confederacy, are elephants of'huge propor
tions, whose sayings and doings lor the. past
four years are returning witli compound inter
est, and making this Canadian Government but
little better than that in London, so tar as the
United States arc concerned.
it is a singular phase of national history, that
while the United States Congress seems kindly
disposed toward an extension of the recipro
city treaty, by. which these Provinces have gain
ed such immense advantages, tlie provincial
authorities are raising men to repel an expect
ed invasion from tlie States.
From various sources, some ofnot very trust- 1
worthy character, the following rumors are <
aaUuTi‘,l: *
Toronto, C. W., Thursday, March 9.
‘ The crisis lias arrived. All the Canadian mi
litia are being’enrolled, and it is expected they
•will be called out immediately. Volunteers in
companies and squads arc rallying from all the
back towns for the defense of the frontier. i
Two thousand volunteers arrived here last night 1
and avert* 1 filleted on the citizens. The people i
are fully aroused and uo man shirks duty, al- 1
though a few have been arrested through a mis- 1
conception of the order calling them out. All i
the railways on the line of tlie frontier are keep- t
iug engines fired up to run off trains. It is es- t
timated that 30,000 troops are now armed, and l
ready to march if invasion takes place. Tlie i
authorities are sanguine of their ability to drive t
back and defend their homes against, any Fenian
invaders. All the troops have been drilling i
since 2 o’clock this morning. A full supply of
- has been-issued to the troops, and (
the railway trains are made up and ready to
move at a moment’s notice to any point of at
tack. Many reports are current, and one, pretty (
generally credited, is that Parliament will be
called to assemble immediately, and that the 1
writ of hnkxsuj corpus will be suspended and (
martial law proclaimed before the I Vt h of March.
The Government lias taken possession of the
Montreal telegraph line.
Toronto, Friday 9 — 3,‘p. m.
The Globe this morning makes the announce
ment that the Government. lias received infor
mation that on St. Patrick’s Day a number of
Fenians will cross the river, join in the proces
sion in the cities, and create some local distur
bances to attract the attention of the military,
white the main force will strike at different
points on the frontier. The Globe calls upon
President Johnson to interfere. It says : “The
people of'Canada are abundantly able to give
the ruffiansa warm reception, but it is a poor
repayment to the Canadian Government for its
action during tlie rebellion in the Southern
States, to.be now compelled to spend money
and blood in resisting outrages planned in the
States of five neighboring Republic. The city
papers this morning contain two columns of
special dispatches from all parts of Canda, giv
ing news pf military preparations, from which
it appears that every town and city is turned out
in full strength. Troops werearriving last night
from the Interior towns, and were billeted on
the citizens. Ten of them were billeted upon
alleged Head Centre Murphy. As fast as the
troops arrive they are organized into battalions.
They are to be drilled five hours per day. To
day there was a turn out en masse of the citi
zens, to make a demonstration of strength.
From the alacrity with which the call has been
answered, it seems that, annexation to the
United States, and all other differences of opin
ion, succumb to the danger of the hour. The
excitement is hourly increasing. The troops
are held in readiness for immediate embarkation.
Volunteers get twenty-five cents and rations
per day. Tlie Orange Watchman , of to-day,
> says that the Fenians of this city will walk on
' St. Patrick’s Day armed with pikes and revol
s vers, and it calls upon the Mayor to prevent
’ their walking. It is believed that the influence
l of peace-loving Catholics will restrain the more
f violent men, and that the processions will be
s abandoned. The Watchman also asserts that
- Bishop Lynch has declared his intention of
> leaving Canada, to avoid the danger and respon
' sibility of a battle which may take place on the
Irish National day.
1 H
Toronto, C. W., Friday, March 0,5, p. m.
The response yesterday for volunteers from
all parts of the country was very enthusiastic.
A much larger number offered their services
than was -required. The Globe to-day has a re
port that the plot of the Fenians is for a body
of them to cross into Canada to take part in the
public processions on St. Patrick’s day, and to
disturb the peace , and distract attention while
ahned Fenian bands will make raids on the
borders.
Montreal, Friday, March 9.
The call for ten thousand men of the Cana
dian militia lor active duty, made on Wednes
day evening, was enthusiastically responded to,
and early on Thursday morning news was re
ceived from all parts of the country that their
quotas were ready for active service at a mo
ment’s notice. There seems to be no doubt
that three or four times the number could be
had at a day’s notice. The whole volunteer
forc-e of this city paraded last evening. Strong
guards were posted at all the armories, and
patrols kept moving through the city all night.
Every preparation is being made to guard
against any Fenian surprise.
1 One of our papers says that “ there is a acar
, .city pf arms and ammunition here other than
purely military, and the customs order prohib
ing importations from abroad shuts us out from
the American market, where supplies can be
most readily obtained. The Finance Minister
might grant licences to import to reliable per
sons, on reasonable conditions to prevent an
evil use being made of the privileges.”
The Montreal Gazette , of Thursday, says:
“ Last r evening, in addition to the different
guards at the armories from the Chasseurs,
there was; also* a main guard at the Central Fire
a Station, Craig street, and patrols about the
streets anti at the different banks after twelve
o’clock.
Toronto, Friday, March 9—B p. m.
The excitement is unabated in the Province.
Troops are still pouring in from the rural dis
tricts by hundreds. The moment they arrive
thpyj-e into companies and squads
So great has bfen the drain upon some,of tiie
large business in the city, that they have
been compelldflftp suspend buiness durintr
drill hours. ' . .
News from the frontier indicates no cause for.
v movement, but the military
anffitfUies ala the Whole people approve the
action of tbe Government hi preparing for an
emergency. Many assert that this hubbub is
got op for political reasons) to unite the oppo<
sing factions to a sense of their danger, so that
the annexationists may be silenced,-and con
federation carried next montli in Parliament. —
This alarm being sounded so soon after the
meeting of the Governors in Montreal is sig
nificant, and the belief that the calling out of
volunteers is lor this purpose is hourly tajriug
hold of the public mind. It is singular that, no
troops have been sent to the frontier, notwith
standing that all the military forces were called
from beds yesterday morning at 2 o’clock. If
this be the real object of the Government, it
will probably be successful, fin* all parties seem
to have forgotten their political differences, and
rally for united and determined defense.
Hamilton, C. W., Friday, March 9.
From eight to ten thousand volunteers have
responded to the call of the Canadian Govern
ment. The excitement is increasing and volun
teers are constantly drilling, and hourly expect
to be ordered to points ou the frontier.
Nothing definite is know as to the information
in the possession of Government which prompt
ed this aetion, but the wildest surmises are still
■ indulged.
The feeling throughout Western Canada runs
very high, and displays a determination to op
pose any enemy, from whatever quarter he may
come.
It is believed that the regulars in Toronto,
Hamilton and London, are under orders, but
no movements have yet taken place.

THE DEFEAT OF THE APPORTIONMENT AMEND
MENT.
The Senate, to-day, defeated the constitutional
amendment proposing a new basis of represen
tation, and came very near rejecting it by a ma
jority. Nine Senators were required to secure
the requisite two-thirds vote. The vote stood
twenty-five for to twenty-two against. The Re
publican Senators wiio voted with the Demo
crats against it were, Messrs. Brown, Cowan,
Dixon, Doolitte, Lane, of Kansas, Norton,
Pomeroy, Stuart, Sumner, Van Winkle, Wiley,
and Yates. Senator Fessenden, in the closing
debate on the question, devoted about an hour
to Stunner, whom he reviewed in a most scath
ing manner, politically and personally. He
held up to the Senate, with a very lively sense ot
ridicule, the absurd metaphor and scholastic
platitudes ol' tiie impracticable and theoretlca:
Massachusetts Senator. He denounced his pro
positions as visionary, his eloquence tie a myth
and bis speeches as a sham; adding, that if tt
member of Parliament read a speech from
proof-slips, he would be coughed down by hi
indignant fellow-members. Mr. Fessenden had
collated several pages of Sumner’s insane rhet
oric, which he read to the intense amusement
of the Senate and the galleries. The Senate,
without regard to party, relished this castiga
tion ; and when the Maine Senator had finished,
.Sumner was so completely annihilated, that he
barely had sense enough left to say nothing.
THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The civil rights bill receded almost a death
blow in the House to-day. Even Bingham, of
Ohio, denounced it as unconstitutional. It was
recommitted to tlie Judiciary Committee, where
it will probably slumber forever. A more
wicked piece of legislation was never attempted
before in the American Congress. The House
considered for the rest of the day the recipro
city bill, and the protectionists triumphed on
the coal interest by placing a tax of one dollar
and twenty live cents on each ton of bituminous
coal. The bill placed the tax at fifty cents.—
The vote was so close that it mavyet he reversed
wlien final action is had on the bill. Thad.
•Stevens desires an early adjournment of Con
gress, and will on Monday move that the House
hold night sessions. Some of the. Western
members, it is said, favor a recess from May Ist
to August or September.

INTERNAL REVENUE.
Upon inquiry by Mr. Raymond in the House
this afternoon, Air. Morrill, Chairman of tlie
Committee of Ways and Means, stated llgu the
committee intended at an early day to report a
bill upon'(ax and internal revenue, in which
vai ions reductions of tlie taxes and duties will
"e ended, and especial] v a reduction
upon cotton and the income tax.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
Issued a circular concerning the assessment oi
lax On the legacies, distributive shares and suc
cessions, as through failure of assessors and
assistant fassessors to exercise due vigilance
much revenue justly due is lost to tlie Govern
ment. W here the whole amount of the person
■aUproperty of an estate payable to legacies or
distributive exceeds the sum of *I,OOO in actual
value, the same is, subject to duty or tax with
out regard to the amount or value of each l<*ga

IMMIGRATION;
The annual report of Mr. Conger, Chief of the
Bureau of Immigration, says the propriety and
advantage of placing the whole subject of im
migration under the charge of officers of the
Government have been fully vindicated by the
results. Tlie draft of a bill has been submitted
to Congress, in order to correct abuses and pre
vent, emigrants from being the victim of sharp
ers, and who, in addition to being ensnared on
their arrival in-this country, arc intimidated in
to fraudulent contracts. Tlie total number o
passengers who arrived in the United States du
ring the year ending December, 1865, amounted
to 287,897, of whom 285,939 landed in New
York and 3,330 in California. All countries are
represented. One hundred and twelve thor.
sand were from Great -Britain, and near. l ’
eighty-four thousand were from Germany.
PROPERTY RESTORED.
Brig. Gen. C. 11. Howard has issued a special
order restoring to Mr. Joseph Forrest his pro
perty, held by tlie Freedman’s Bureau, in St
Mary’s county, Maryland, (except the “Sand
Gates Farm,” so-cnlled, of 1,000 acres,’) being
nine .separate tracts of land, containing 1,01.
acres, more or less, subject to the provisions o’
Circulars Nos. 3, 15 and 20 of tlie Freedmen’s
Bureau.
PARDONED.
It is stated that there have been 2,070 persons
pardoned in the State of Virginia, and 482 in
North Carolina, by the President, under tie
820,000 clause, since the issuance of the Amnes
ty Proclamation.
PRIZE claims.
It is estimated that the Fourth Auditor’s office
has, during and since the rebellion, adjudicated
prize claims affecting over 1,200 captured -ves
sels. The amount involved in such settlements
was about twenty million dollars.
TRABCRY MATTERS.
. There are in the vaults of the Treasury De

BSC WE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO BE
astonished at anything Years of experience and a
correspondence extending throughout all nationalities
of the habitable globe, have turned theories into facts
and established a basis Irom which we need not err.—
We are not surprised at such facts as the following,
although the persons who write them are. We know
the persons and circumstances, hence feel .at liberty to
endorse their statements:
“New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24,1863.
Dear Sir: I have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cranps in my limbs, cold feet and
hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. J com
menced with a small wine glassful after dinner. Feel
ing better by degrees, jn a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could sleep the night through, which I have not
done for years. I feol like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved hy the
use of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”

cured me. * * * i

The following is from the manager of the Union

Dr. Drake : Your wonderful Plantation Hitters
have been given to some of our little children suffer
ing from weakness and weak lungs, with most, happy
effect. One little girl in particular, with pains in her
head, loss of appetite and daily wasting consumption,
on whom all medical skill had been exhausted, has
been entirely restored. We commenced with hut a
teaspoonful of Bitters a day. Her appetite and
strength rapidly increased, and she is now well.

believe the Plantation Bitters have saved my life.
