__Imacrion. ron. Purrose.—There is an endearing consolation held out to us, that the Commander-inChief of thé Federal forces, is _ inactive on the Potomac for a yrand and noble.puspose. ‘Che-heart of the people thrills with joy at the hopes thus inspired. A master policy is resolved on, which must result in either'bagging the entire Southern Confodetacy at once. or gend its troops in countless throngs to their graves from utéer starvation »nd exhaustion. So the stories go, ands.) we must believe on pain of being denounced as disloyal, of being charged with discouraging enlistments, aud meriting AlonThe -stiggestions tegarding the causes of ” delay since the battle of Antietam, areeminently wise, and afford mach. occupation to. the mind in these times of doubt blue yuin. Thy are chiefly. these: That our forces are awaiting the rise of the Potomee in order to procure the cooperation of our invincible gunboats; that we are waiting the coming of frosts that will nip the barefuoted rebel soldiers so that they will be glad to skedaddle toa warmer chimiite ; that we are taking time to allow negro insurrections to ferment, and dismay theretrom to drive the rébels to their homes to protect their famities, thus sweeping away all enemies that oppose our progress southward; and that by taking a little time the retels will have eaten up all the‘beet they forced from Peonsylvania, and consumed all the salt obtained at the Kanahwa works, and then they must succumb from sheer starvation or exhaustion. ‘These are all undoubtedly strung reasons for dying on out oars for a month or two, and allowing the rebels to wear themselves out while we are growing stouter and stronger daily. But there appears a much stronger reasons for inaction than all ‘these, coming eoncluaiwely under Jomini’s first branch of the art of war called, * Diplomacy applied to War’ Inaction affects elections.— The people of the Nutth are clamorous for a forward movement, and for having it frequently repeated. If the movement is not made before the New York election, the Administration will be held to blame for it, of course, and peorle will go in for rebuking that policy that seems te want to do nothing. Hence reaulte favorable ta the opposition.— Weare going to have another Presidential election by and by, It istime to lay pipes fer that event. Supporting the war is popular ; therefore, the men of the Seymour stripe support the war, but attempt to pack all ‘evils, rea) or imaginary, upon the Atwinistratien to break it down. Opposing the Administration, particularly.the confiseation »nd Someincipation menses of it, ia all the NorthFad Seceasionists desire, to command their votes: ~They know the chances for compro~ mive with treagem are better with the dubious Democracy than with fair and equare Adwinistrativn men, wed they support the Seyinours us the beat thing they can-do under the circumstaneca. Delays on the Potomac auit the Seceasionists both North and Seuth, and in one point of view —th Democratic, using the term according to its preaent signiAicance,—inaction is be th politic and wise. ‘Tue Gunpowder PLor.—The officere.o! Sacramento went ona hunt a day or two since, for that stored up secession gunpowder éa a little old brick bur ding,’ with “to let” on it. The article that was going to raise h—! in this State was found ouly to be something ~ to raise bread—yeast powders. j Saw Francisco, Sept. 15th, Collector Rankin wrote to Gov.

He was up geven"press ” spoils not the aphoriem.— mento has done allin its power to injure Nevorable word could be obtained from Sacramento relative te the best route across ths mountains. Ifa tree feil across our-road it . was chronicled.. If an inch of snow fell en it, @ severe snow sterin hal rendered the route unfit fer travel. I:mprovemente, statistics, facts, we published, but the press of Sacraments had enough of these fer the Pla eerville route to bother about, and fet ours alone. We endeavored year after year, to show by surveys that the Henness route was the easiest and the shortest. Sacramento persistently refused to give us the semblance of a hearing. We represented that the interests of Sacramento laid in a road in this direction, as Placerville must of necessity be tributary te Sacramento for years to come, and thatdif the opportunity was neglected Marysville would get the lead and appropriate the advantages of the Henness route. No; the eyes of Sacramento were fixed on Placerville and refused to be moved. The result ig seen. The Henness rcute is crowded with teams, and Sacramente gets no benefit The blind lavishness of Sacramento to Placerville ig likely to be rewarded.— The latter place talks of running a railroad so ag to leave its patrin, Sacramento out. in :the cold, while the latter has of late in a & half way manner rather favored travel in this direction, but almost too late Marysville bas the vantage ground at present. A fair course towards this section iu time would have decuréed Sacramento a trade that would have been of immense benefit. It cannot beexpected now that the people of Nevada will lick the hand that smote them. There is nut & well-informed ‘e.tizen of the county thut do s not know these statements of vars, concerning the course of the press of Sacramento, to be true. It is the sheerest nonsense far the Bee to ery out “injustice.” It is the old bawl of “atop thicf;” the repetition of the example of an old prostitute lecturing caustically on the weaknesses of; the young. Injustice! faugh ! . egensquingiliaibtibinet GoLD V8. PAPER.—It asvems the ruling rate wf gold over paper in the seaboard cities is owing to the want of gold for shipment andthe speculating wndencies of brokers whv command the market in the commodity of gold. In the interior, paper is the curreucy, nad all commercial transactions are based on a paper currency. hat this is so, and that papér isnot taken at a depreciated rate, is eviaeut from several facts. let, the deimnad for produce for foreign shipment is as great as ever before. 2d. netwithstanding the thousanda of luburers thay have been witudrawn from the wheat and corn fields ot the West, those grains command abvut the saiwe prices they did whew paid for m guld defore the war commenced. 3d,exe pt & few articles vt demestic wanutacture, aud foreign luxuries that pay under the new tariff some40 per cent duties, the cost of liv. ing in thy North, even when paid forin paper, is not sensibly more than when the currency waa gold, or its equivalentin bank bills ct the sume stundard. Such geems to be the couditien of things in the East;and if such be the true view, there ean be no deubt that “greenbacks” are just the same as gold for the peuple’s or the Government's purposes, except in paying interest on the nation’s bended debts er tor shipment to foreign countries. And ibe difterence as discount between gold and lezal tender netes is not a loss to the nation, because, f Americans have te pay foreign debts in coin, 80 du forvigners, in poying dutivs and . purchasing produee, have te pay Americans geld in return, and they have to; ay a higher price fur produce in coin than the produce dealera paid the farmers for itin paper. Rel atively the gold equilibrium among nations is thus maintained. _ ReMovep. —The State Printing Office has be: n reiieved to Sacramento, where it will etry, probably unless a flood o1 something bet=} ter happens. Hieat oF Meaxness.—Our neighbor of the TRANsCuIPT justly finds fuule with cotemporaries who give a “dig,” and then uamantully withhold the number of their paperin which “the light summer-pass” is made. ‘That's aboutas contemptible a dodge vada: county in ite vital interests. Not a fa. j . of South Mountain and Antietam: the as some of th results of the baitles U8: avg I followi vy At South Mountain our loss was 443 dead, 1806 wounded, and 76 missing,—total, 2,315. At Antietam our loss was 2,010 killed, 9.416 wounded, and 1,043 missing,—total 22,469. Total loss in the two battles, 14.794. The loss of the rebels in the two battles as our troops drovethem from the commencement of the action, and as » much greater unmber of their dead were seen on the field than of our own men, itis not unreasonable to suppose that their loss waa greater. than ours: Estimating their killed at 500, the total sumber of rebels kille?in the two battles would be 4,000, acvording to the ratio of our own killed »nd wounded, this would make their loss in wounded 18,742, as nearly as can be determined at this time. The number of priseners taken by our troops in the two battles will, at the lowest estimate, amount t: 5,900. The full returns will, so doubt, show alorger number. Ot. these about 1,200 were wounded. ‘Phis gives me @ rebel loss, in killed, wounded and prisones, of 25,542. It will be observed chat this does not include their stracglers, the number of whouw is said to be, by citizens, very large. It may be safely coneluded, therefore, that the rebel army lest at least 20,000 of its best troops. wt se From the time our troops first encountered the enemy in Maryland until he was driven back inte V.rginia, we captured 13 gune,7 cnissons and 9 limbers, 2 field forges, 2 evisson bodies, 2 colors aud 1 signal flag. We have not swsta single gun or color. On the. battle-field of Antietam 14,000 sinull arms were collected, ‘besides the large number carried off by citizens and t ose distributed ov the ground to recruits end other unarmed men arriving inwediately after the battle. —At Seuth Mountain no cvllection of small arms was made, owing to haste of pursuit frow that point, 400 were taken from the wppuside side of the Potomac. _ Geo.
