dangerous form than threats, now has

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.

-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

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.

years held the city of Baltimore under

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.

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

country and against the rights of the

BULK OF THE Guan TN THE WORLD.
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.—
