Force:was threatened. long since -as.a means of defeating the popular will and compelling Congress, to admit ithe’ rebel representati nd ‘acquiesce in the treasonable of the President. What then assamed no more dangerous form than threats, now has taken the shape of active preparations, which look very much as though there was really danger ahead. The fact that, in defiance of the will of the peo_ ple expressed in nearly every loyal State by ‘overwhelming majorities, Johnson still persists in attempting to force his policy upon the nation, that he makes his will the sole tribunal for the deci. .sion of constitutional questions and asumes authority belonging exclusively to the legislative department of government, isevidence that he intends to carzy on the conflict -with Congress to the could not be relied apon, and ‘Bee who bat bchange. ‘The country: has.,.to. “pass pone & severe trial ‘between now . men snnet tend firm fon the, rigs. . another war —~ be ‘forced: upon the nation.

Tie Rossray Fur ComPany.—The . -possessions and franchises of the Rus{ sian American Fur Company, consisting of houses, lands, vessels, merchandise, éte:, have beet sold ‘to a ‘San Frandiseo company, consisting of General Miller, Sam: Brannan and_others, the consideration being about $600,000. ‘The cause of the sale is, that although the rights of the Russian Company’'were secured to them under that purchase, they felt a disinclination to operate ou what had become foreign soil. Henry Baker, Esq., formerly of the Internal Revenué Office of San Franciseo,is appointed the agent on the part of the new Company to, pro ceed to Alaska, to receive in their name a large amount of merchandise, shipADitter end, He has denounced Congress . ped by the old Fur Cempany, and now as “an unconstitutional body hanging c pon the ‘verge of the governnient,” ahd it is’ not probable that he will permit such # body to ‘sit in judgment” upon his conduct without resistance.” We bélieve that the only reason why he did not woo. force.at. the. opening of jast Congress to give rebel representatives seats, was the knowledge that he could not in the face of large Wnion majorities hope for success. The ‘man .who could suffer loyal men of Louisiana to be murdered,and withhold troops froth ‘theit assistance, who could refuse to allow troops to protect loyal men in’ Tennessee, on the ground. that he could not interfere with State affa then, send troops to aid rebels in Nashville in breaking a State law, would not scruple to do anything to advance his political fortunes. He has’ béen endeavoring for a yéat to get trol of the army and navy, and by ving a true and tried officer from tie” War Department to get in a man to sefve lis purpose. He could yet clear of Stanton by appointing crt and he is now endeavoring to ‘ov @ the. latter or force him out of the Cabinet._Inno State have the friends of Johngon a stronger footing than in Maryland, Here we find them under the lead of Swann, one of the most. unscrupulous ‘Mien of the country, anda firm friend Of Johnson, arming for action. He is ‘mow engaged in arming and organizing " p force of 10,000 State militia, and his antecedents prove that he would not geruple to use them, They are officerd by return rebel soldiers. Swann for years held the city of Baltimore under hie power through the “Plug Uglies,” “Blood Tubs,” and kindred organizations, and.it was such ruffians as these that fired upon Union troops. Before the war no respectable citizen who opposed their will could go tothe polls Sr kone assaulted and. mobbed, . hile Swann and his police quietly cooked on: declaring that they ‘could ‘Hist interfere, in elections.” After the State was relieved of their rule and the To¥AT Peoplé, freed from ‘the “reign of terror,. controlled the policy, Swann the tide of of loyalty into the torial chair, only to. betray the as Johnson did the Nation. To he set. at defiance a State law, ‘tid forced ‘the ‘ballot boxes open to on the way to that point. BRoruEr: EARLE: Rev. A. B. Earle preached. in Park Street church, Boston, August 18th, and gave an account of his labors on this coast. He though he might return here within a few months. Hachange.: From the above it is pe Pie that the report relative to the drowning of Mr. Earle on his. way “home, was without foundation. Opinions or SENATOR Wuison,-—A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser says; “Lasked Wilson, first, his views of the situation. He said: ‘In regard to the condition of affairs, I continue to take a hopeful view of it. Nothing that the President has done has weakened ‘my confidence at all in the complete triumph. of our friends in the Southerh country. I believe that the negroes who ‘have been’ enfranchised and the loyal men of those States will earry the election, will conform their Constitutions to the requirements of Congress in sympathy with the Republican party of the United States, and’ that the President can do.nothing that will prevent this T believe that-his policy and his conduct have this tendency, to embitter and en: courage the rebels, to get up bad feeling and make things unpleasant. But events are beyond his power to control, and his course will only sink himself, his ideas and policy, and the friends who gather around him. That is:my idea of the effeet of what he hag done, . that his conduct. will contribute to the strengthening of “the “Republicans in the loyal States. The people will see is against the peace and repose of the country and against the rights of the freedmen and loyalists of the South; and: seeing this, and feeling it, they will be more united, and more fitm in the assertion of their determination fo secure equal rights to the black man and bring the Southern States, back as . loyal States into the Union, , This.is the public judgment and determination of the country, and nothing'on earth can Miss Lammond, from Califorita’ has leased ‘N.

According to estimates the whole amount of gold in the world at. the present moment is about $5,950,000,000 in value. It may ‘be of ‘interest to see what the bulk of this amount of gold would be if it were all -melted-and run together. Pure gold is more than nineteen times as heavy as water; and a cubic foot of water weighs » thousand ounces avoirdupois. A cubic foot cf eae vould weigh dyer 19,000 ounces , open yer Cm and every such ounce of is worth (according to our nage) somewhat more ‘than eighteen dome 80 that the whole cubic foot of gold would be worth. a little more than a third of a million dollars. A cubic yard of solid gold would be worth -seven times.as much as that, or ne wattle dollars ; and 660 cubic than the $5,950,000,000 of world. ' 660 cubic yards would be contained within a room five yards high, eight yards wide and sixteen yards long; say a good sized parlor, or a stote of moderate size.
gold inthe “But,” says some one, “gold is 60 very malleable that even this' small bulk of it would over the whole earth.”. But he ei over-estimates the malleability of gold, or more likely under-estimates the size of the earth. It takes 1,280,000 leaves of the thinnest gold foil to make an inch in’ thickness, or about fifteen millions and a third to make a. or 46,000,000 to.a yard. A cubic yard of gold, then, o@uld be’ beaten out so as to cover 46,000,000 po pied yards ; somewhat less. than 10,for there are square yards to: gh acré, Then, as*there are 640 acres to the square mile, the whole 550 cubic. yards of gold could be-beaten out so as to cover about 10,000 square miles. That is, a tract only a hundred miles square, less than the extent. of of either New York or Feanaytvenis.— Cor.
