London, Saturday, May 12th, 1866.
Europe has been waiting the past week, in
anxious expectation, to hear the sound of the
lirst cannon fired in a war which threatens to
surpass all wars of modern times in the num
bers of men and of nations enquired in it. But
the gun hits not been fired, and the question
still is, who will fire it ? There arc scarcely
two opinions about the probability of war. It
seemed a week ago as if there were but one man
in Europe who could command peace, and
Europe waited lor his word. That word has
been spoken and Europe understands it to
moan not peace but war. ,
The Emperor and Empress went to a fete at
Auxerre, and in answer to a congratulatory
speech of the Mayor the Emperor said : 11 The
people knew that I like them, detested the treat
ies of 1815.” It was tltese words that sent a
new panic into every Stock Exchange in Europe,
and made men hopeless of peace. Hopeless,
because they believe that the Emperor did not
want it; hopeless, because war, and war alone,
can destroy the remains of those treaties which
France and the Emperor detests. By these
treaties Austria holds Veiietia, Russia holds
Poland, and France is held hack from the Rhine.
We have dreamed ot a Congress. It has been
a thought and a project of the Emperor. But,
apparently, he thinks of it no longer. After
war there may In; a Congress to settle anew the
boundaries of Europe, hut it is no longer pro
posed. The Emperor has expressed his will
ingness to join iu a Congress, if desired by the
other Powers; but lie will not take the initia
tive. And a Congress is impossible, for this
reason—-the very questions to be settled are the
ones which must he excluded. For example:
Russia will enter an European Congress, but
only on t lie condition that nothing shall he
said about Poland. Prussia will enter also,
but not to renounce her pretensions to annex
Schleswig-Holstein. Austria will equally in
sist on excluding any allusion to Vcnetia.—
Italy will not be a party to a Congress that
does not recognise its claims to its entire ter
ritory. These are questions that no Congress
and no diplomacy can settle. There is, then,
nothing possible but war, sooner or later ; and
the Emperor may have made up his mind that
it had better come now, when he is iu full
vigor and France is united and prosperous,
than some years hence, in his declining age, or
the early youth of his successor.
We all know—have known for many a year
—that the Emperor detests the treaties made
expressly to circumscribe ttie boundaries and
power ot France, and to exclude ins lamily
from any part in the government of Europe.—
At any other time he might have made the ob
servation lie did lo the Mayor of Auxerre with
out influencing the weakest stock in Europe;
but. when people are listening for cannon shots,
such a speech .seems to say that they are eom-
And war sdenis certain enough. Prussia is
on foot, lierarmy mobilized and on her fron
tier. Austria Ims 73,000 men in Venetia, and
rail way.-.land telegraphs monopolized by the
Government. Italy has suspended specie pay
ment, effected immense loans in paper, and is
alive from the Alps to the Adriatic with, war
like preparations. Saxony is in arms, and re
inses to disarm at the demand ot Prussia.—
Kven Belgium is making provisions for calling
out 80,000 men. Russia and Turkey are moving
large bodies of troops to their respective fron
tiers. are at druggets drawn, all ready to
strike. Trance is neutral, hut preserves her
“ liberty ol action.” England is neutral in any
case, and means to keep so. The Queen,
whose daughter will be Queen of Prussia, and
whose dearest friends will he involved in the
conflict, has tried to interfere, not diplomatical
ly, hut personally, in the interests of peace.—
She has asked the aid ol' the Czar, it is said, to
prevent hostilities. But the action of the Czar,
like that ol the Emperor Napoleon, is very
doubttul. Each seems to have more to hope
than to fear from a war in Central Europe.
Only one thing gives the least hope of peace
It. is the difficulty ol who shall begin it,. Aus
tria declares, with perfect sincerity, I doubt not,
that she has no intention of attacking either
Prussia or Italy. She is acting strictly on the
defensive, and is the Power threatened'on both
sides. Prussia declares that she has no inten
tion to attack Austria, but Prussia means to
carry out her intentions respecting the Duchies
and that is to attack and exnel Austria from one
H making the most

des, and even from
has no idea of at
the attifejde of
adsed all her prep
fd. Italy lias eon
t opportunity, and
sooner or later, without an opportunity, to con
quer .Venetia. Tt is clear enough that Prussia
is the first to move now, and Italy the second ;
and that Austria is acting, and can hope to act,
only on the defensive. And the one hope of
peace, if any still hope, is that both Italy and
Prussia may see that Austria may still have the
power to defend her lrontiers. It does not
seem possible that Italy will venture to hurl
her inexperienced, though enthusiastic armies
against the quadrilateral; but, on the other
band, when a nation lias gone so far, and is so
deeply involved, it may be ruin to draw back.
It seems as if only war could save Italy, and
war may send all to chaos again.
It is said that at Rome all parties are for war.
The clerical party is tor war, believing that it
will result in the restoration of the States of the
Church. The friends of the ex-Kings and Grand
Dukes also hope for their own restorations.
As to the partisans of United Italy, they want
Venetia and then Rome for Victor Emmanuel
while the Republicans iiope for the triumph of
their own principles. There is not a Republi
can in Europe who is not excited with the pros
pect of new revolutions, and one lias been found
in Prussia to follow the examplcof the attempt
ed assassin of the Czar. A son, or rather step
son, of Carl Blind, a Republican refugee in
London, who, I believe, has visited America,
has this week attempted to take the life of a
more powerful man than the King ot Prussia—
that of Herr von Bismark. He tired five shots
ol' a revolver at thy Minister, who arrested him
with his own liana. Blind cut his throat and
died before lie could be examined. He had no
papers, and very little money. The effect of
this attempt was to increase the popularity and
power of the Minister, and to give, therefore,
greater danger of war.
We speculate oil who will strike the first blow
and where it wd 1 la* struck. If Austriu will not
attack on either side, as I believe, and as is tier
obvious policy, and if Italy is not quite mad
enough to 6end Garibaldi to attack the quMri
lateral, it seems probable that the first blood
will be shed in Saxony. Saxony has armed for
its own defence, and in defence of the Confed
eration. Prussia has demanded its disarma
ment. Saxony has refused, and appealed to
the Diet. Prussia lias massed her troops upon
the frontiers of Saxony, quite close to Dresden,
and has only to give the word march. Then
Austria would support Saxony, whose import
ant defiles and strong positions would be the
scene of the first conflict. While Austria is en
gaged with Prussia in Saxony, Itaiy will attack
Venetia. The iron-clad fleet is stronger than
the Austrian, and Italy would have the advan
tage at sea ; but if Hungary fights for Austria,
as it is she w#l, and if Southern Ger
many comes ttfthc support of Saxony, and
Trance, Russia and England are neutral, it is
not by any means clear that the war will result
to the advantage of the two attacking Powers.
The sympathies of France, to a large extent]
are no doubt with Itaiy. The Emperor would
be glad to see the people of Venetia under the
Government of their own choice.' But the Em
peror knows that people cannot always have
what they would choose in the way of a Gov
ernment. Even in France, powerful and pros
perous as she is, are Legitimists, Orlean
-ssts and Republicans.
Ireland for centuries lias as heartily detested
the Government of England as the Emperor
detests the treaties of 1815. The Poles have at
times shown a violent repugnance to the Gov
ernment of Russia. Even on the oilier side of
tlie Atlantic it is sometimes pretended that
Governments have been forced upon unwilling
populations, though which side of the Rio
Grande this has happened I do not at this mo
ment remember. But in Europe is there one
great power, except France, and Spain, if she
is a great power, which has not some Province
held by force against the popular will ?
And wiien the war begins, in what will it
-findV it may sfce Venetia torn from Austria,
and lor this fyw would be sorry, for it is re
pugnant to humanity that any people should
be held under a Government they detest, how
ever needful it may be to the policy of those by
whom they are held. Austria holds Venetia
because she has held it for half a century be
cause a proud nation does not like to narrow
its boundaries —because it gives a greater ex
tent ofseacoust and commercial-advantages.
No country surrenders important territories
without a struggle. Even Mexico gave up
Texas only at tlie end of a war, and Califonia
and New Mexico, at the conclusion of another.
Only by force, apparently, will Austria surren
der Venetia, or Russia give freedom to Poland,
or England abandon Ireland to the Fenians.—
Consequently, matters must remain as they
sire, or there must be war; and at the moment
I write, more than a million of men are in arms,
and ready to march and to tight, because some
of these questions must be settled, and can
only be settled by powder and cannon balls.”
The Times , speaking with the voice of the
•commercial classes of England, asks why the
one man in Europe who has the power does
not command peace. One might ask why a
higher power than Napoleon does not more
potently command it. War seems to be a necs
sity of the Divine Providence. Napoleon might
say, whoever breaks the peace of Europe will
have France for on enemy, and in that case it
may be that neither Italy nor Prussia would
dare to attack Austria. But is the Emperor
under any obligations to keep the peace of
Europe in this fashion? “The Empire is
Peace,” but the Empire has not engaged to keep
the peace of the whole world ; and if war is the
only way to destroy those treaties which France
and the Emperor detests, war therefore inevita
ble, why not let It come now when it will ?
Lord Clarendon declares in the strongest anfl
positive terms that in no case will England
take any part in the European struggle. Eng
lish sympathies are too much divided. Some
would fight for Italy, some for. Austria, for
Prussia, tor Denmark. There are not a few who
would go to war for Poland Or Hungary if thev
were in question. A few years ago England
was fighting fbr Turkey. She spent some hun
dreds of millions sterling to make those very
treaties she is now so ready to see scattered tc
the winds.' England means to take care of
number one, and Mr. Gladstone, next to keep
ing in office mid passing the Reform Mil, is anx
ious to pay off tho national debt, which would
cheapen beer, gin and tobacco.
I see but one good the war can bring to any
but theltalians. It may so rectify the bounda
ries oflEurope as to dispense with the costly
armies ot the past tcu years. It may give a
solid peace, which will admit of the develop
ment ol material prosperity and civilization.
After all, will there be a war I 1 At the mo
ment I write, while the three Powers are ready
to strike, while the matches are lit, they hold
their bands and are protesting their anxiety for
peace. Prussia cannot desire war; but Prussia
lias excited the hopes of Italy; and Italy, at
every cost, desires Venetia—-is, in tact, in such
a position that without some movement she
sees only bankruptcy and ruin. So it may be
that Prussia has gone too far for the possibility
of a peaceful couclusiou. Italy may snatch at
the opportunity for which she has waited.—
Those few words of the Emperor may have
been the spark which is destined to light up all
Europe.
In England there are matters of interest, no
doubt, hut they are but little attended to. The
cholera is spreadingsin Liverpool, but is as yet
chiefly confined to the German emigrants en
route for America. There is a panic in the cot
ton market as well as iu stocks, and the latter
rages with increasing violence. Money has
gone up to eight per cent, at the bank, and
you can judge how it must be at second hand.
Even in Holland, where they seldom get more
than three per cent., money is now at 6%.
Mr. Gladstone has brought in his Distribu
biuion Bill, grouping the boroughs together so
as to give most of them a share iu the represen
tation, and giving the members thrown out to
some of the larger towns. It seems a fair
enough a measure, and the different parts of
tho bill are to be amalgamated so as to puss
them as a whole. If it shall be found that the
Conservatives have uhout the same chance as at
present, the general desire the vexed question
settled may make it acceptable.
At the anuual dinner of the Royal Academy
tlie other night, the Prince of Wales and Prince
Albert were both present, and both made
speeches, though I cannot say much for the
ability of cither. They returned thanks for
toasts, and Prince Albert, in behalf of the navy
which he represented, alluded to two pictures
in the Exhibition, and especially Muclise’s
“ Death of Nelson.” The Royal family of Eng
land are good children, I believe, and the Prince
of Wales does a good deal of shooting; but
they do not manifest any extraordinary ability,
and, as constitutional Sovereigns, are not like
ly to trouble their Ministers. But it is evident
that the Prince of Wales and the Queen are on
no better terms than heretofore. The Queen
has gone to Osborn House, and the Royal Pai
aces are closed, even against the Prince of
Wales. He wishes to attend the A ( cot races,
and though so near Windsor Castle, is obliged
to hire a furnished house. Ail this makes a
world of scandal and ill-feeling.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys and his Wife.
To the lireninq Post:
There is scarcely any French name more
familiar to the American public at the present
moment than that of M. Drouyn de Lhuya.—
The following lively sketch of his wile, which
I translate from Le Loleitof Paris, may be in
teresting to your readers:
Mademoiselle Mathilde de Saint Cricy had
received that healthy and somewhat austere
education by which old hunilies prepared their
daughters in former times for the duties rather
than for the pleasures which they were to en
counter in life. It was left in those days to the
husband to introduce the woman whom he had
married, to something else than the hustle and
responsibilities of married life. The bride en
ticed her home as housekeeper. It was for the
husband to introduce her to the world and its
gayeties. At the present day, the child bewild
ered by balls and theatres, watering places and
travel, already weary of the world and its de
mands, wakes up some tine morning in marri
age to learn that gold pieces do not coin them
selves, that thera is a bottom to the deepest
purse, and that butter is at an exorditunt price.
When Madame Drouyn de Lhuya lelt the
great and melancholy hotel de province, where
her childhood had slipped away, to follow her
husband, then Secretary of Legation at Madrid,
tlie world was delighted with this young wo
man, who appeared to find it so good, so beuu
tiful, sochnnning; it was pleased with her for
tlie keen and graceful joy which she showed at
its festivities ; but what the world, all the world
at least, did not know, was the pure eharity,
the exquisite kindness, the severe economy of
the young woman with so frank and gay a
laugh.
Much lias been said of tlie fortune ofM.
Drouyn de Lliuys. When he has been seen in
certain circumstances, and at times when he
regarded himself as discharging a duty, sacri
fice so easily tlie most lucrative positions, it
has been said : “It is strange ; he is so
.rich!” ”, . )■<
The truth Is, that this fortunesrouln excite a,
contemptuous langh from a simple banker. It
is, besides, all invested In real estate, which di
minishes the income from it. But it is a set
tled principle of M. Drouyn de Lbuys that his
position forbids him all interest in any indus
trial enterprise, all property in speculative
stocks. He has consequently often needed the
economy, the adroitfiess of the domestic wo
man, of the housekeeper who concealed herself
in the fine lady, in order tc maintain the rank
uud to continue the charities from which M.
Drouyn de Lhuys, even as a private individual,
could not withdraw.
They are, perhaps, rarer than wc think—those
graceful figures, whose dazzling toilets and
brilliant costumes the newspapers publish, but
whose charity, whose domestic virtues remain
unknown when they are not slandered.
As I have mentioned ihe name of one of the
greatest and most eminent of French women,
let me relate an anecdote which paints very well
tlie affectionate tenderness, the thoughtful care
which she shows in saving from all anxiety, all'
worry, so lar as it is possible for her to do,
him whose name she is so happy and so proud
to hear.
it was during Ihe Eastern war at the moment
of the negotiations and conlerences in which M.
Dronyn de Lhuys played so important a part.
Tlie minister had just been informed that one of
his oldest friends had bet-u sadly wounded in
his affections. At the moment of leaving for
tlie Council, he wrote him a letter lull ol feel
ing and of friendship, and carried it to Madame
Drouyn de Lhuys, that she might add also a
lew lines in her own hand. Alter a quarter of
an hour, surprised at not seeing the missive re
turned, he went to his wife and was astonished
to find her standing before a window ami coun
terdrawing a paper. An inkstand ’ had been
overturned on the letter, and Madame Dronyn
de Lhuys, to avoid compelling her husband,
whom she knew to be very busy, to rewrite
ids letter, was trying to counterdraw the firm
and clear handwriting of the minister.

A Wonderful Kacu— A Nation of Pigmies
Discovered.
The London Times, of January 16, publishes
the following letter Irorn Dr. Du Chailu, the
great traveler, giving an interesting nceouut of
his discovery of a nation of Pigmies in the inte
rior of Africa :
Sir: As I find the report of what Mr. J.
Crawford said in reference to the small and pe
culiar trilte of natives which I met witiiin the
mountains of western equatorial Africa, be
tween one and two degrees south latitude, and
about 13 degrees east longitude, has occasioned
skepticism, I now copy .from niy original note
book, whieli I have shown to Sir Richard Mur
chison, the following details. 1 further under
stand from him that Mr. Crawford had no in
tention of disparaging the accuracy of any de
scription but simply wished to have such an
explanation as I now offer.
These little people, termed Obongo, may be
considered the gipsies of the region. They are
of migratory habits, and change their tempora
ry shelter under the trees from one place to
another. They gain their livelihood by trap
ping game, which they exchange with the set
tled villages for food, and like some European
gipsies, if this method fail, they steal and de
camp. While the inhabitants of this mountain
region are lighter in color than those of the
sea shore, these Obongo are still less dark.
They have only short tufts of hair upon their
heads, and are thus strikingly distinguished
from the settled inhabitants, who wear large
turrets of hair upon their heads. They have a
wild, anxious and timorous expression in their
eyes, and although I gave many beads to entice
some of then) to remain, and was brought to
then) stealthily by the natives, all the men ex
cept a young adult disappeared, leaving a few
women behind. It would appear that my visit
alarmed them, for although I stayed a week in
tin; adjacent village, the Obongo were no more
to be heard of.
The following are the measurements I was
enabled to make: The only male adult meas
ured four feet six inches, bnt as one of the wo
men reached five feet one-quarter inch, (she be
ing considered extraordinary tall,) I have no
doubt that some of the men are equally as tall,
and some, perhaps, tailer. The other women J
measured had the following heights: Four feet
eight inches, four feet seven inches, and the
smallest four feet and one-quarter inch. I
thought, after looking over the whole group of
adult women that their average height was four
feet five inches to four feet six inches. The
smallest woman had the largest head, viz : One
foot ten and one-fifth Inches in circumference ;
the smallest was one foot nine inches round.
In the volume which I propose to publish,
more details respecting the little people, with •
short vocabulary of their language, will be
given.
Character as is a. Character.— The late
Provost-marshal-general ot the United States,
himself a leading Republican, thus gives the
character of one of the Republican Congression
al Districts of New York, it lies in the central
part of the State, and is represented by the
Hon. Mr. Conkling. Says Gen. Fry, “ The
people of his (Conkling’s) District waa made up
of cowards, and drunkards, and sneaks ; that he
did not believe there woa’an honest man in the
district, and that if any such could be found th«
others would debauch him.” Fonr-fifths of the
people of that district, whose portrait Gen.'ffy
thus draws, are Radical Republicans, We think
they need reconstructing badly.

The Trial of Jeff. Davis t# be (Postponed
JJntil Hovapber—James T. Brady one
of %is Counsel, etc., etc.
Washington, May 27. j
ft is now considered certain that tlie trial of
Jeff. Davits will be postponed trorn June to the
November term of court.'- The hot weather and
the possibility Os epidemics arc sufficient to
warrant the delay until later in the season.—
Neither'ls it expected that lie will be brought to
trial uuder the Norfolk indictment. The Grand
Jury simply adjourned, and is there competent
to withdraw this and substitute any other. The
Norfolk indictment is good in the absence of
any other, and was drawn in almost exact con
formity with the celebrated Burr indictment;
but the assistant counsel for the prosecution
will probably ask for its amendment by adding
several additional points. The Jsth of June,
1864, was fixed for two reasons: first, the in
dictment must by law be found within three
years of the alleged crime; and secondly, tlie
evidence that was brought before the Grand
Jury fixed that particular day.
It is no longer a secret that James T. Brady,
of New 1 ork, is eugaged as counsel for Jeffer
son Davis. He arrived in the city yesterday
ju the interest of his client, and to-day had an
interview with Mrs. Davis at the residence of
Dr. Miller, where she is now stopping. Mr.
Davis will be prepared at the June term of
court, to be held in Richmond, and will insist
upon an immediate trial, or heiug released
upon his own recognizance, or upon bail. He
will also be prepared to give bail in any amount
demanded by the Government to the extent of
five or ten millions of dollars. His counsel
will insist that there is neither law, nor justice,
nor precedent for longer delay by tbe Govern
ment, nor for a refusal to accept bail, should
the prosecutors for any reason ask for a post
ponement of the case.
The opinion is widespread that the Govern
ment will ask a continuance of the case on the
ground of not being prepared lor trial; but it
is believed that when all the consequences of
delay are considered, and the fact once know
that ten millions of dollars baii can be procured
in the North alone, that the authorities will
either proceed at once in the ease or release him
upon his own 'recognizance or upon parole,
rather than advertise to the world such a state
of public feeling aj; the North, and admit such
vacillation and imbecility "in preparing for this
important case. It is not unlikely that Mr.
Brady while here will confer with the President,
the Secretary of War, and the. Attorney Gen
eral upon the line of procedure to be adopted
in the case. He is expecting to return to New
York to-morrow night.
Mr. Harrison, late private secretarv to Jeffer
son Davis, is among the arrivals at Willard’s.

The Drain of Qold and the Money Market.
The long continued ease in the money mar
ket has been brought to a sudden check by tlie
derangement of European finances, consequent
on the anticipations of a general war. Last
week the unusualgtnd unpredented amount of
almost nine millions of dollars in specie were
shipped to Europe. This is a larger sum than
lias ever before beeu exported any one week,
and is larger than tlie heaviest shipments that
have occurred during any month since the com
mencement of tlie war. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, this event would have produced an
excitement in our money market that would,
probably, approach to a panic. But so far there
does not seem to he any marked indication of
a want of confidence. There is only a ieeling
of caution and nothing more. This arises
partly from tlie peculiar condition of our cur
rency, and also from the exceptionable nature
of the European demand. Os course a con
tinued pressure on the other side of the Atlan
tic, attended by a demand for the prompt set
tlement of all balances in specie, may cause
serious embarrassments in our country. But
so far there does not appear to be any grounds
for serious apprehension.
It is known that the specie exports of last
week, were chiefly on account of the May cou
pons sent here for payment of interest on tlie
Five-Twenty bonds held in Europe. It is es
timated that about three hundred millions of
these bonds are held in Europe, principally in
England and Germany. The interest on thtie
would amount very nearly to the specie ship
ments of last week. Under ordinary circum
stances tins interest could have been settled for
in cotton bills and exchange, and the specie, or
the greater part of it, could have been retained
here. But a variety of canses operated to pre
vent this result. For some time past the Eu
ropean cotton murket has exhibited a steady
decline. There is an unusually large quantity
on hand in Liverpool, and the stnpie is dull and
difficult of sale, except at sacrifices to which
shippers are this week not yet prepared to
make. Then too, there have been several fail
ures of cotton firms In England, which have
impaired the credit of bills drawn on account
of cotton. It is known that a large amount of
these bills have been returned. For these rea
sons and in consequence of the derangement oi
the European money market, induced by the
increasing probabilities of a war, bankers on
the other side of the Atlantic instructed the
i American agents to ship specie for liabilities,
in place of tfiq usual bills or •wefieuge dnnrn
. itaafcM eottc a apd prodace S
1 tT is also known that a large amount of Five-
Twenties held by European bankers tor sale to
customers, have been returned for sale on ac
count of tlie pressure, and partial cessation ol
the large middle class demand for our securities
that sprung up in Germany and England. The
urnount Mius sent back may be estimated at
about fifteen millions of dollars. These have
not'been all throwh on our market, but a suffi
cient number have been sold to swell the de
mand for gold for exportation. This is a con
tingency to which we shall always be liable,and
one that goes far towards justifying Secretary
MeUulloch’s, proposition for separate European
bonds, with interest and principal payable
abroad. This would obviate the liability to
financial derangement consequent 6n the return
of these on occasions ol stringency in the Euro
pean market, but it would be attended by a loss
of National dignity that Congress was very pro
perly unwilling to incur. In fact, it is by no
means probable that any large amount of Aineri
' can securities will be returned. Their credit is
relatively higher than tlie bonds of any Govern
ment in the world. For some time "past the
United States securities have steadily appre
ciated in Europe, while the bonds of other Gov
ernments have depreciated in value. Even
English consols are lower than they have been
Tor any period within twenty years. Mr. Glad
stone’s significant intimation in the House of
Commons that our National debt is the only
one in the world that is likely to be paid, was
the recognition of a fact from an authoritative
source that must produce an effect sooner or
later. After the immediate European stringency
shall have passed away, the wars and rumors of
wars will operate in favor of our bonds by pre
senting the only really safe investment for
money in the only* quarter that will be secured
aeainst the dangers of European revolution.
It will be seen that there is really no ground
for serious alarm in the present condition of
our finances. Our resources are evidently suf
ficiently elastic to bear the strain that has been
imposed them, experience has shown that the
drain of Gold to Europe lias usually ceased at
about eight or ten millions of dollars, thus in
dicating that that amount represents the differ
ence in the trade balances between the three
countries. This amount was reached last week,
and if it were not for the disturbing influences
of the interest of our bonds, and their return
for sale, we might anticipate a cessation of the
drain of specie. But this cause may, and pro
bably will, occasion a still further demand for
gold. It should be observed, however, the
gold sent on account of the May dividends, af
fects our business relations very slightly. It
comes almost directly out of the National
Treasury. It is not drawn from our banks, as
heretofore, and, therefore, only slightly affects
onr credit and circulation.
There is, of course, a displacement of cur
rency on account of the gold purchased, amount
ing last week to about fourteen millions of dol
lars, and apy derangement thus produced will
soon be obviated by the action of the Secretary
of the Treasury, who has given notice of his
intention to redeem twenty millions pf certifi
cates of indebtedness. This is decidedly the
best course that could be pursued under the
circumstances. There is no reason why these
securities should be permitted to remain out
standing, and their redemption will throw a
large amount of currency on the market. The
banks have also a large amount of National
Bank notes oh hand, which are a legal tender to
the Treasury, and it will he a relief to them to
get their surplus into circulation.
The policy Os the Treasury Department in
freely selling specie, has also largely contrib
uted ten millions of dollars at prices ranging
from 1.30 to 1.31. This week it is selling at
the same rates, and it is announced that all the
specie that may be required will be sold at these
rates. But for this action the premium last
week would probably have run up muck higher,
with a corresponding derangement in all kinds
of business tranctions. On Saturday last the
balance in the Sub-Treasury amounted to $lO3 -
051,333. A large proportion of this is gold
and it will be seen that the supply is ample to
meet all possible demands that may be made
against us for specie on European account 1
The sale of gold by the Sub-Trensury, is sus
tained by the soundest considerations of politi- ■
cal economy. The specie thus freely paid Qut
will soon return. Any scarcity would result in
a diminution of the receipts for imports while •
the richness and flexibility displayed, will pro- i
duce the happiest effects upon our foreign ■
credit. The gold sent across the Atlantic will t
soon return to ns, if not in hand, incommoditv '
which are really more valuable to us. The gold
cannot be put to a better use than to settle the
balances of our toreign trade. This is the
junction to which the tendencies of the times 1
seem to limit its use among nations. Anv 1
hoarding at the present time would he most in- '
judicious and short-sighted, and would prove 1
equally disastrous to the business interests of 1
the country aud credit of the Government. *
Tfce trqe policy is to interpose no artificial *
restrictions whatever, to the movements of the *
precious metals. This is a matter that should 1
be left entirely to the natural laws of trade— d
There is no more reiUon whx Government 1
should interfere in the shipments of gold, than 1
in those of corn, iron or cotton. When it is
more profitable to spud gold abroad, no irnpedi- »
ment should be oflnfed to its egress, and in the *
same way it will flow back to us when the bal
an«»s turn in»r favor.» Theworld is slow to
fid# out that Aid is realty nothing more than a ,
commodity tmt may be Bnbject to a fluctuating .
demand, aaWwhich may be often of far less
value that many other articles. The want of a 1
recognition of Mb jrtgflf|il by the Bank of
- causes the |piit serious periodical
disturbances in the buslaqw relations of that ,
country, and we congratulate the country on a
Mr. McCulloch’s avoidance of tills too preva- >
lent error. 1

OBITUARY.
i
Died, at Pleasant Dale, Columbia county, Ga.,
Little Bkli.h, youngest child of James M. and Hen
rietta G. Anthony, in the sixth year of her age. But
a few months ago this lovely and interesting child was
in the bloom of health and loveliness; but she was
suddenly a disease which, ah nongli fatal,
wasao gradual in Its progress, that even the untiring
and watchful devotion of her parents tailed to detect
the near approach of death. No wonder did the total
and anxious mother pray so fervently for her recovery,
for “ Little Belle” was the embodiment of perfection
and loveliness, and ill her viSis centered so many bright
hopes aud fond anticipations of the future. Ivor was
it strange that the dealing father, sisters and brother
should grieve mid watch with so much anxiety her
sick bed, for slie was their darling pet and idol. Oil!
it was indeed a great trial, but like all things beautiful,
she passed away. Her littie voice is hushed lorcver
on this earth. Her smiling lace is seen no more, hut
her memory isi indelibly stanijM'd in the hearts of the
bereaved family. Fond parents do not grieve, your
“ Little Belle” is now In Heaven, and her angel spirit
always near a beacon light to guide yotf safety home
to Heaven. *,*

THE KIDNEYS.
The kidneys are two in number, situated at the up
pen part of the loin, surrounded by fat and consisting
w P ort s, viz: rite Anterior, the Interior, and
the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues
or veins, whieli serve as a deposit for the urine and n
convey it to the exterior.. The bxtcrior is a conductor S
ttlso, termination in a single tube »<d called the Ure
ter. The ureters are connected witli the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the Lower,
tho Nervous, and the Mucous. The upperexpels, the
lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without
the ability, others urinate without the ability to retain.
This lfequentiy occurs iu. children..
TojCure these affections we must tiring into action
the lAftfclos, which are engaged in their various func
tions. " If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may
ensue.
Tlie reader must also be made aware, that however
slight may lie the attack, it is sure to affect his bodily
health and mental powers; as our flesh and blood are |
supported from these sources. « I
GOUT, OR RHEUMATISM. f .
Vain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above
diseases. They occur in persons disposed to acid
stomach and chalky concretions.
THE GRAVEL.
The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treat
ment of tike kidneys. The organs lieing weak, the
water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to (
remain ; it becomes feverish and sediment forms. It r
is from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel !
ensues.
DROPSY I -
is a collection of water in some parts of the body, and
bears different names, according to the parts affected,
viz: when generally diffused over the body, it is called
Anasarca: when of the abdomen, Ascites: when ot (
the chest, Ilydrothorax.
TREATMENT. $
Helmliold's highly concentrated compound Extract
liuebu is decidedly one of the best remedies tor dis
eases oi the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swell
ings. rheumatism, ami gouty affections. Under this
head we have arranged IJysuria, or difficulty and pain
in passing water, scanty secretion or small and fre
quent discharges of water, Strangury or stopping of
water, Hematuria or bloody urine, Gout ami Rheu
matism of the kidneys, without any change in quan
tity, but increase of color or dark water. It was al
ways highly recommended, by the late Dr. Vhysick,
in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion and
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which
the watery or calcareous depositions and all unnatural ;
enlargements, as well us pain and inflammation, are
reduced, and is taken by
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
Directions for use and diet accompany.
Philadelphia, I’a., Keb. 26, 1867. I
11. T. llklmbold, Druggist.
Dear .Sir: I have been a sufferer, for upwards of ,
j twenty years, witli gravel, bladder and kidney affec
tions,"during which time I have used various medici
nal preparations, and been under the treatment of the
most eminent physicians, experiencing but little re
lief. , , ,
Having seen vour preparations extensively adver
tised, I consulted with my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Buclffi.
I did this because i had used all kinds of adver
tised remedies, and hud found them worthless, and
some quite injurious: in fact, I despaired of ever get
ting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter
unless I knew,of tin* ingredients. It was this that
prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised
that it was composed of Bttcm;, cubebs and JUNlpku
berries, it occurred to me and my physician as an ex
cellent combination, and, with his advice, after an ex
amination of the article, and consulting again witli
tlie druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced its
use about eight months ago, at which time I was con
fined to my room. From the first iiottle 1 was aston
ished and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt
much like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, l>u| thought my improvement might only
lie temporary, and therefore concluded to defer and see
if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then It
would be of greater value to you and more satisfactory
to me.
lam now able la report thaUi cure is effected a) Ur
using the remedy forgive montos.
1 have unt used any now for three months, and feel as
well in all respects as 1 ever did.
Your Bueliu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, a nice tonic and invlgorator of tlie system, I
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion uiuy
require its use in such affections.
