__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.

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

old bawl of “atop thicf;” the repetition of the

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.

Hieat oF Meaxness.—Our neighbor of

uamantully withhold the number of their paperin which “the light summer-pass” is
made. ‘That's aboutas contemptible a dodge

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

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.
