City and County Official Press Tue Hien Cost or Livinc.—Everything that we eat, drink, or wear, is going up. .Flour_ has almost doubled in price-— Coffee and tea, sugar and molasses, butter’ and tebaeceo, and» thogsand articles of fancy and luxury sre enormously bigb.— Some ef these articles are bigh in consequence of ‘the war, but many of them we ean do without. Others have been made so by speculators. In this State the essential! articles are angmented im price in consequence of the unfavorable seasdn for agri. culture. The crops will undoubtedly be small, but there is a large surplus of grain from the hafvest of Inst year “still in the State, and were it.not for speculators ¢! cost of living would not be so enormous But labor is scarce. Almost in every part ‘of the State the papers speak of the scarcity of laborege, . Wegee are high, aud real estate, houses and lands, low. This State of things will, in & great measure, compensate for the high price of everything. Economy should be..practiced more by our people.— Since the bégmoing of the war extravagence has increased. There never waa a time.in the history of our eountry, when the importers of the East did a larger business.— and cheesd, together with those-essentiale .

We fully expect a great, bloody, atid we trust, decisive battle. _ The loss of the rebels in the recent fight with Sigel 1s-estimated at one thousand. It is supposed that Lee has beey reinforced by Breckinridge from the Shanapdouh Valley and Beauregard bas thrown reinforces ments into Richmond.. The rebels were ses verely pupished by. Butler.in. the fight of phe 16th, Phe attack was,ioall probability, ‘made upon Butler’s forces for: the pur;-ose of sending. troops into Richmond.

Millions of dollars mm gold ia poured into _the coffers.of the -merechants-of Europe.--Men and women complain of the hard times, and at the same time *pend enough money is a year to feed all the poor in the Dirited States. Gold is scarce acd high. Why is this? —Ourmerchants buy splendid goods to supply the extravagant demands of the people. The time for payment comes. The ‘jmporters-of-New York must have gold to send to Europe. They have sold for greens backe and: must buy gald. Gold goes up-at the sailing of évery steamer for Europe. — Extravngance in living is the rule and econemy the exception. If men. have svt the means te live in. the world of fashion, they accumulate debts, Then inordinate lote of dieplay brings ‘ruin upon themselves and causes them to swindle their ereditors.— This state of things must end in ruin.— There-have been worse timer than the pres« ent, and worse times will, in all probability, soon come upon us again.

Her manufacturing industry more than compeneates nominally for her loss in commerce; but.no State has been pushed onward in the developing of its resources, like Pennsylvania, . Her great interests are agriculture, coal, iron, and oil; and the value ofall these has been immensely enhanced; there are few interests that have gone up like them. Her railroads have grown rich by the transportation of troops and tilitary gupphes.
