WEDNESfiAf; itJtJUSt 19, TScC CV* We wivh bo ,better evidence of the hopelesenewi and helplessness of the rebel ' caua« than the feet that gold is on the in • rease awl script on tlie decrease in price, in and Confederate bonds rapidly declining in Europe, notwithstand ing the tremdndour efforts of ihe leaders on this side, and the sophistry of agents on the other side qf the Atlantic, to pre vent such of departing strength and and sure approach cy andrain. WapgAypdd to this the decline on gold states and the unabated de maadifcr the five-twenty United States bonds. Gold has been a pretty correct theimometer of the state of |he country during the entire rebellion. The darkest days of the Bepuldic were those wherein gold stood at 179 cent#. Ihe faith of the most ardent Union men was then put to the test. The credit of the Government was shahen to its foundations and but a few more notches gained by a set of unholy would have driven the hope ful tp ejeepair and, perhaps, undone ns for ever. gut fortune favored the right and the br&ve, gold tumbled, and hope revived, and to-day the- precious metal is quoted at 124 cents in New York, equal do about 120 cents here. The credit of the Gov ernment is fully established, and its abili ty to crush the rebellion clearly demon strated, if there be no unnecessary delays. If we .can place any reliance in the re ports we receive from the South, the sol diers in the Confederate army have no hope of success, and are desertingat every opportunity. The Confederacy is divided by the opening of the Mississippi, conse quently the soldiers now in the .Eastern armies, who belong West of the river, no longer havp any interest or heart in the tight, but want to get home, it possible, before their lives are sacrificed in what they now discover tp be a fruitless under taking. We believe the end of the rebellion close at hand, although the strokes which are. to knock the life out of it may require to be heavier and delivered faster than any heretofore. The officers now at the head of our armies are competent to the work tieforc them. ® The -WAKT—The news from Charles ton, papers, is encourag ing. Glen.

' This has lieen speeinlly made manifest by those who have written or s|miken on Ihe Conscription act. The New Nork IforW has its own manner .of - (Hilling it. Irsavs; “This draft is the first-ever enfu eed iqion a free AngKt- Snxon ptopJo,” liniit which same statement, if mie. it follows that our fathent of 1812, oiirseh'es of 1862, nqjj the ! Ri-bels who are now warriiig against us have no claim to be a free "'Angltr- Siixon tteojtle;’’ for it is tine that there was draw ing during the lastiwur; that there was drafting one year ago, and pint there has been a terribly stringent scries of'drafts made by .1 ff-rsmt Davis. Without it. tile K hel imnios would have dwindled to nothing long ago. (Jenit Smith made a speech in Albany a few ■lays since. Ho has also Ids way of putting the Conscription law. : It is a strong way. “ Was there ever anything so shameless as to see (teonle, when Hehels in a. bis are stalking up to their vuty doors, intent - on the disruption oftlteir country and Ihe overthrow of its instiinlions, to see tltem sneaking up to the Constitution and {string over its provisions, that tnev may find some way by which they can ronxliiul'oiuiltii avoid doing any thing for its protection?" The venerable orator has lost none of his former tsnver over thought and language, if we imiy take this as a fair sample of his present ability to use wools in order to tmike his thoughts felt. : PA Some persons jgissibly will not agree wi.h him when he says, *• Had there m;yer lieen an an|si tripiic breast, tiicr6 never would have been a question as to the constitutionality of this law." But all must concede that his way of putting the thing leaves no room to doubt the nature of hi feelings towards the Rebellion, or the sincerity of itis desirs to sec it put down thoroughly and speed - ily. The way in which men choose to put it, ■ hough, will always.show unmistakably bow they feel and what they wish for. Mr. Smith said and evidently meant it all, “I would we were all one idea men, in the whrk of putting down the Ke bellion.

Both the Blue Ridge and the North M aintains were full of Rebel deserters going home with their arms, and so many passing had worn pathways along the mountain sides. The general opinion at Lexington and Stanton, among the ciliz ns and soldiers, was that ;the Confederacy was “ played out.” At Lexingfou the Keitel Conscription was going on, and nil tjhe males between sixteen And fortv-five were drafted.

How Grant Looks After His Soldiers Immediately after Vicksburg had fallen a largo number of steamboat* cleared from the northern ports for that i>lace, and were in the habit -of charging soldiers; going home on furlough from fifteen to thirty dollars fare to Cairo. In refer ence to this subject the Cleveland Herald says: A, friend relates to ns that the steamer Hope was compelled by Gen. Grant to disgorge its ill gotten gains the; other day, under the following circumstances Phis boat had about one thou sand end-ted soldiers, and nearly two hundred-and fifty officers, aboard, on .their way home on short leave of absence, after the fatigues of their pro tracted hut glorious campaign. The Captain of the-Hope had charged these men and officers (tom cn to tweny-fiye dollars apiece as fare to Cairo. Just as the boat was about to push off from the ‘he wharf at Viekshjtig, an order came from Gen. Grant requiring :lhe Captain to jwy hack td his jjassengers all money received by him as fare, in xcess of five dollars to, enlisted men, and seven loilars to officers, or submit to imprisonment-for iisubedienee and have his boat confiscated. The order astonished the Captain, but the presence of i guard rendered it useless to refuse, and so, amid he shouts of the soldiers over Gen. G ant’s care >f their he complied with as-good grace as possible, and paid back the money. Our infor mant, himself a .passenger on the Hope: was pres ■nt when Gen. G ant issued the order almve re ferred to. The -General, when informed of the imposhions pra til iced npon furloughed men and officers by steaiinlioatmcn, was very indignant,— "I wilj,teach them, if they need the lesson,"said he General, “ that the men who have perilled their lives to op-fl Mississippi- river for thoir benefit cannot be imposed on with impunity.” f Talking or Wan in Canada —The_ pcojile in Canada appear to be in a bad w*y. Up|ier and Gower Canada are at swords points ggiiin, and separation is • talked of. -A' panic is under way also touching the probability of a war- with; the United States. The Kapncks and Bine Noses arc convinced that the terrible Yankees intend; to overrun and conquer their frdt.-n and sterile •onntry. That un.-asy agitator, Thomas D’Ahchy McGee, is out it) a lens' in whk-h he: imtemnly warns the Canittians that the Yankees'are pre paring for an invasion of Canada with an army of one hundred thousand men. He wjjs ,that there is a conceiitrafion of stores at Fdrtj Mon - gotnery, Rouse’s Point, for an immense army, and that he has positive information iof the hodtilein rentions of thp, Washington ■ cabinet, .Of course all this bosh is limply to keep the name of McGee before the jieoplfe of the provinces, so that, .when die kingdom bejpndkw arriyesdie may be one of :he chief flunkeys to the new sovereign. It isjiro- Imhlo that, as oijr civil war draws to a clhse, (here will be intermittent war panics springing np : in Canada.

Sthanok Mepeorooxcal Fact.—A French pa per, published A( a fashionable watering place, says, wiring in the ;momh. of July:—‘-Af.er several «e ksof suffocating heat, the temperature sudden ly went down! !

Attempts have been made, in New York and elsewhere, to disparage this ship, because die happens to have been built in Philadelphia: bur she is vindicating herself, and in ihe language of a hue letter to the //pm/d from Morris Island. “when once brought imo position, she is worth the fleet „of Monitors here/* Her plating has hithcnoWen proof against the heaviest guns of the rebel-am! her own but teries of he*vv guns iiave done more damage to the rebel works than ai! rlie rest of the fleet pur together. She is under command of Commodore Siephen C. Rowan, *in officer who will test all her powers of otf slice as well as defence. Tae New Ironsides is ths largest ironclad; ship built for our navy. But Though, thus an exp ;rimmini craft, sttch'.good judgment was exercised in planning her, and the contractors, Messrs. Merrick & Sondid their work so well ami >o faithfully, that she has proved a splendid success. The triumph of the first-Monitor over the Merrimac set the country Monitor-mad, and the building-of Monitors was clamored for everywhere. We do nor mean to ds parage those vessels; bnt they carry but two guns each, and in several eases one or both of these have become disabled or has hurst, which makes the vessel useless. It a half dozen iron-clad ships of the style of the New Ironsides had been built, they would have probably done the work which the Monitors have failed to do. Unless some unfortu nate accident. to the New Ironsides occurs, wc.diall expect to see tins splendid war vessel take the princi{*al part in the conclusion, as she has already done in the beginning, of the naval work before Charleston.— BuiJetin. An Ohio Catholic Bishop on the Riots \ Tl»e Cleveland Herald says: Bishop Rappel praehed in the cathedral on tl\e s ihjec: of the riots in New York. He was unsparing in hii- ; ter denunciations of the mob that bad comm it usd such outrages. He wanted bis bearers against any act that tended in any degree to provoke such, scenes here. He said that the laws must be obeyed, j and the conscription law must be quietly submitted \ •o among the rest. He urged flic. members of his ; Hock to attend strictly to their business* and not even todUcuss the question of the dralt. If any of them were drafted am! could not procure ex- ! ctnption, they must do their duty to their country I as soldiers. 1 If the drafted man was poor* and no provision ; was made by the cry or county for the relief of bis family, they should be cared for by the Church. He warned them no; to ill-treat the colored people. A colored man has as much right-to live and to labor for his living as a white man had, and their rights must be respected. It was cowardlv i ami sinful to molest those people because their : *kin was of a different color. He also spokr* against the practice of demanding extortionate wages. It was wrong and wicked to export from their employers more than the fair price of their labor. finally* he warned them not to provoke breach of the peace in any manner.'* A Sußa-mims Hkfuskd —Tin Gfcensburg lie ftuLiuxm tells the following : A man in this routin', he nameless, was drafted. His wife was sorely distressed at the hare idea of parting, and was vainly endeavoring to invent some excuse for getting him exempted, when a knock was heaVd at ner'door.

I'll teach you to insult a pour lone woman in distress, you mean dirty wretch," cried the prusjieetive widow, aerom paming her remarks with a discharge of dirty water at the head of the astonished substitute, who tied hastily down the sairs, just in time to escape the pail which iollmved the tVater.

He slated that martial law had been d.-elared in Kentucky preceding the recent election in view ol the fact that an invad ing foe was on iis 001 ders, and with a design to give all loyal men a chance to east their suffrages unmolested. Th e disloyal had no light to ap proach the hallot-hox, and therefore have no right to complain. He complimented Kentucky in a highly Haltering manner, staling that he had found it the most loyal State in his department; and had s:o reported at Washington. He has foanil more strictly loyal men here than in Ohio or Indiana, though the latter was his birth place. Colored Troops. —Over six thousand colored troops tire now on Mortis Island, to be engaged in the attack on Charleston. The reason why those troops Ate concentrated there is that they liest stand the climate, the diseases which affect the white troops not usually attacking them. In the hospital report of deaths, at Port Royal, for the month of July, the names of six’y-six persons were given. Of these, fifty-seven were white, nven’y-six of whom died from typhoid fever; nine were black, and died of wounds. The black sol diers front M issachnsetts stand the climate just as well as the negro Jkmth Carolina recruits. During a divorce suit in London, the wife tes tified that upon one occasion Iter husband put his hand on her head, in the presence of her mother, and cursed her. He said; “May you suffer such agonies, both of body and mind, on your death bed, that no one pmy Sl ay with yon, and that there may tie no one to close your dead orbs.” Her moth er said it was dreadful, anti that they* had better separate.
